Our latest visit today revealed that the rough carpentry has, indeed, begun. We have the first floor underboarding in as well as the back wall braced up. There is lots more lumber on site for the tradesmen to continue putting up the rest of the walls in the next week or thereabouts (weather permitting) so I would expect that we'll be seeing a very house-shaped object standing there when we return next week. We went to Lowe's and bought two ceiling fans and a porch bench. We hope to have the electricians install them along the way so we don't have to hire contractors come out after the fact. We plan to do the same with upgraded bathroom lights we want to get as well as a pot rack ceiling light in the kitchen.
We're probably going to buy our refrigerator, washing maching and dryer at Lowe's. They have the models we like and will deliver for free. If we can also get a 10% discount for opening a Lowe's credit account, we'll do that. And we'll probably get 12 months no interest. Can't beat that. Besides, we can only abuse my mom's store discount so much. Discount dining room and dinette sets will be more than enough, I think.
