Give a Little, Take a Little

The amount of decisions we have had to make throughout this renovation are endless. (And we've just begun)
The newest conundrum- Do we bump the bathroom wall out 1ft into the smallest room? That would also mean getting rid of 1 of the windows in the smaller room. That's fine because there are 3 windows in there now. Right now the bathroom is 6' x 7'. If we bump it out a foot it would make it 7' x 7' and allow us to have a larger vanity. What to do, what to do. What's more important? My one and only full bathroom being a little bigger or my 3rd bedroom being a decent size?

And so it begins...

The last couple of weeks since closing have been CRAZY to say the least. We gutted the kitchen and bathroom, front wall, raked over 50 contractor bags of leaves, sawed trees down and put gutters up. There have definitely been some hang ups along the way like 4 inches of concrete poured on the bathroom floor encasing the pipes that we had to chisel away or the fact that we need a permit to convert the boiler from oil to gas. It is an amazing feeling knowing so much is getting done. I would like to give a special thanks to Frank's dad and my brother Kyle. They worked tirelessly, even when me and Frank had to go back to work. My brother is a work horse and "Big Frank" as he calls him really took him under his wing and taught him a few things.It has been a ton of fun.
