We're in waiting mode on the next round of bids. We were suppose to have a meeting two days (5/8) ago with MOC, but rescheduled for this next Wednesday. Why? Well, MOC was prepared to show us their re-vised number and hoping to get an answer during that meeting. Since we've decided to have two other builders bid the project out, we didn't want to cough up that answer until we new where the other two were at.
I guess we're finally getting to the culmination of this big game, and to be honest, it's starting to drive me a little crazy. I just want the numbers!!! ... but, as if it were that simple. Are the numbers apples-to-apples? What timeframe are they each proposing? How accurate do we believe their numbers to be?
So, what to do to keep the mind occupied elsewhere? Hammers! Drills!! Cro-bars!!!!! Yes, I continue to demo, although now I think it's for no reason other than to demo. The floor is up, the panels are off, and so much of the rest is just trash.... well, not true. We've got a place in town called the Re-Use Center. They take any type of building material from lumber to fixtures to windows to doors and more and re-sell or re-use. So, keep it out of the landfills and give it new life. I sent some pics off today to gauge interest. Depending on the response, that may be the next project. Which would be good, cause I'm starting to lack room in the place to demo much more.
What else? Ann and I went to the Living Green Expo last weekend, which was actually pretty interesting. We talked to the Re-Use Center there, saw some siding options and even talked to a guy who, if we choose to chop down a big oak in our yard, would take the tree, dry it and mill it into whatever pieces we wanted should we want to build something from the tree. Very cool actually... think about it... having a table, beams, flooring or whatever made from a tree that came from your own yard.
