The time line: We moved into the house on July 2nd, 2006. We had been working with our architect since mid-May and had hoped to get the project underway by the end of the Summer. It was such a nice dream. The reality was that we didn't even apply for permits until late fall. Only after the permits were into the city did we realize that our budget was not going to cover the whole project. We cut about 1/2, resubmitted the drawings and received our permits in mid-December.
The crew from Green Hammer broke ground the week before Christmas, but, due the holiday hoopla, didn't make it much past basic deconstruction until January. Then the snow came. Three snow days in two weeks = a student's dream, a remodeler's nightmare. Concrete can't cure in sub-freezing temperatures, so the project was on hold until the weather cooperated. Since then the guys have been working hyper-speed, and we're not too far behind schedule.
