We got good news today. They have made the final revisions to our floor plans and have passed them through their quality controls. Our main architect at the firm has them on his desk and has promised me to send via email tonight or tomorrow morning. This will give us one last look and then we can schedule to go in and pick them up.
In the meantime, Alex and his dad have been working on the Garage plans. Those are shaping up very nicely.
We've decided at this point to see if our architect can review those as well. It just didn't make a lot of sense to submit without having a more trained set of eyes on them. A bit extra time (and possibly cost) on the front end will hopefully save us time and money on the back end.
So... I'm still hoping to get everything submitted to the County by the end of this week. Even though the temps keep dropping and thus there is no excavation on the near horizon, I am stressing about this part and pushing everyone. Not only because I feel a couple of days could make a big difference in the review process (again, I would like to submit now while their workload is light), but because honestly I am sick of window shopping. I am ready for the plans to be done so we can get to the bidding part of the project. I'd like to see if all my research and budgeting has been somewhat accurate. Or better yet, it would be awesome to see some of the line items come in under budget. Afterall, I would like to plant some grass and a garden at the new house when it's done!
