This morning Gill and I went to J&H, the lumber and building supply store just south of town. We haven't built anything for a while, here in Nova Scotia, so it was nice to see that all the working people were still there, working away to help us. We looked at counter tops and flooring and cabinets. I am quick with my selections while Gill kept admonishing me to look at other samples. We were loud and obstreperous but we had fun. Now Ken and I must go for the real selections tomorrow. In order for George to give a firm cost for the construction, we must select all out options, including cabinets, bathroom fixtures, flooring, showers, door pulls, electrical fixtures and tiles for the bathrooms.
We met with George, our builder, for three hours this afternoon. Now he knows what we want with the new building so he can price it out. But we must choose all the elements. Ken and I are good at making decisions. We seldom disagree on a choice and once chosen, we seldom change our minds or re-think our decision. The new construction will not have a copula but it will have a 10 foot deck on the water side of the building. And it will be 8 feet wider to accommodate a closet. The plan is to keep in the same price range as the re-building of the original Carriage House so it will be covered by insurance. We will see. Tomorrow, we go and make our choices.
