This weekend I put up a few more posts of the interior walls. I wish I could have done more, but there are a few decisions/researches that are pending.
Designing a building is a monster job. I don’t envy those who do it all the time — I hope they like doing it! Being amateurs that we are (though we are on our second cottage) there are lots of decisions that get made in-process, and our plans change. You can never have a perfect house, so the ability to look at variables and pros/cons and making a reasonable, rational decision is a key. I hear that house renovations are potent marriage killers. Well, my wife and I are not anywhere near that danger right now, but I can see how building a house together CAN kill a marriage.
Next 2 weeks we will put the house on hold and attend other matters. After that, major projects coming up — roof, ceiling, electric. I can’t wait to get these decisions out of the way and start working on those big things. Because that’s when progress is much more obvious — it’s hard to feel productive about a few posts and hours of discussions (though it’s all very important and necessary).
