I’m hoping there’s a way to add music to this blog post, because we’re CELEBRATING! The rebuilding project begins tomorrow. Finally! Sorting out the budget was complicated and left us in a holding pattern for almost two months, but we’re able to move ahead now. Our builder, Judd Stattine, has been very patient with us, and gone above and beyond to respond to the requests of our insurance adjuster and the city. The same can be said about our architects, Tim Quigley and Bob LeMoine. We feel very lucky to be working with this team.
I had grand ideas about planning a ground-breaking ceremony and inviting all of our friends and neighbors to celebrate with us. I’m now thinking it will be more fun to celebrate with everyone when we are settled back in our new home. But there definitely will be a toast or two this week!
The first week will be focused on clearing and excavating the lot, and the foundation work will start after that. The current timeline runs through mid-January, which obviously misses our goal of moving in by Christmas, but at this point we are just thrilled to have a timeline. Here’s a sneak peak of what the completed home should look like! Can you name that tune?
