Windows and Thanksgiving

Yesterday we signed on the dotted line after making a few revisions. Now we wait for a few weeks and hopefully some still nice weather.
It is Thanksgiving Day here in the USA, a holiday that I love. We've celebrated in an assortment of ways over the years, mainly with extended family, but today we opted to stay home, just the four of us. Juliet and Elisabeth are celebrating together with friends. I feel greatly blessed in my life and grateful to those who paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy.

Moving along

We are making progress with our quotes. We had an energy audit done yesterday. All the quotes are in for the windows and the foundation work. All very different in what needs doing and prices. Now we have to make some decisions.

Changes are afoot.

We've decided to do some more renovations to the house.

We are going to get an energy assessment done by TVA to the house and are looking at replacing most of our windows.

We have foundation people coming to check the sunroom, front porch and a couple other areas. (Nothing major, just a precaution).

We are pricing out remodeling both bathrooms and looking into creating a new access area to the attic. Most of that we can do ourselves.

Maybe we should get a quote for the roof while we are in research mode :0

We are also contemplating getting the yard landscaped properly. We've been talking about terracing our slope on and of since we moved in.

So we have a number of appointments set up for the next couple of weeks. Good thing we don't party much :)
