Now What?

In thinking about this, I find it difficult to get my mind around all the stuff that needs to be done.  By done, I mean planned.  Never having gone down this road before, it is hard for me to imagine all that this will entail.

We have a contractor.  We have someone to do the electric and, I think, the plumbing. We need to order the logs and windows and porches and roof and all that stuff.  I think it all comes in a couple of packages from the log company.  We will need to arrange for the solar power, the geothermal, the excavater, well digger, sewer folks, it goes on and on.  And that seems to be only the beginning.

Personnally, I am looking forward to the part where something other than planning starts.  This planning has been going on for months now. Months.  I grow weary of just talking about it and talking and talking. I know, this is a very necessary thing.  If it was yarn or floss we were dealing with here, I would really be into the talking, too.  But it isn't and I'm not.  Maybe I should be, but I'm not. And, I suspect this is like an iceberg.  What you see is not what you get, only a teeny tiny part of it. 

Then there is the deciding.  Scarier than planning.  What kind of wood floors, what kind of windows, what color to stain it all.  Straight stairs or curvy ones. I voted for curvy but I think we are getting straight ones.  I wanted that slide thingy that is all over Pinterest.  Guess what.  Nope, not happening. 

So now we wait.  Gotta get permits and the contracter has to get back from Kentucky and his emergency house build.  Then we get to plan and decide.  More later....
