Okay, so in the meantime, make a note and post it on your fridge...The Contractor is An Employee, Not my Friend. I am the Boss...I am all about saving money, not cutting corners...make sure your contractor can see if everytime he comes in to beg a cup of coffee!<BR/>Sorry, it comes from years of taking police reports about crooked contractors...just can't help it...and get permits FOR EVERYTHING, no matter the contractor says " ah we don't need no stinkin' permits!" Hmm, have I forgotten anything? Never mind, I'm sure if I have, it'll come to me<BR/>hugs<BR/>SandiSandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507936997454240566.post-39954230060290499292008-01-31T21:18:00.000-06:002008-01-31T21:18:00.000-06:00How exciting!

Well, let me re-phrase that; it is what we WILL have when our construction mess ends. It's only been 3 years! I still have so much stuff in storage I can't remember what my style is, or was... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm really excited for you and can't wait to see what you come up with. I wish that I had known about blogs before planning our design! All the design blogs are such a resource. <BR/><BR/>Just remember, it's your house and your inspiration - don't let someone sell you on what it should be like...Lavender Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266253102704443700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507936997454240566.post-17245101514762520062008-01-31T03:53:00.000-06:002008-01-31T03:53:00.000-06:00Hi Teresa Thanks for the lovely reply. ...Hi Teresa <BR/> Thanks for the lovely reply. I will say you are lucky you have Dr Phill too! and I think he is from texas too?!. I love his no nonsense approach. I love oprah and would love to go to an Oprah show too.<BR/> Yes a british lab counts !!!. Its funny you like the british accent too, I would love to hear the Texas accent too !.<BR/> I love youre style houses the ones with clapperboard fronts and all those front porches. I would love to come to Texas and I bet there is so much to see and do , youre style of churches are lovely too. <BR/> It does rain a lot in England though, today weather is very wet & windy and very very windy the trees are shaking!. We do have a lot of castles. I expect Texas has a lot of history too and there are a lot of things I dont know about Texas. I would like to try peach pie too!<BR/> Dominique xNo one is you ...& that's your power https://www.blogger.com/profile/00132573188639516605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507936997454240566.post-8768756613116396732008-01-30T17:03:00.000-06:002008-01-30T17:03:00.000-06:00Hello How exciting I am sure it will be beaut...Hello<BR/> How exciting I am sure it will be beautifull. Where you live houses seem so spacious and it looks like you get a lot of land when houses were built. Here in England a lot of houses are Victorian or pre war and closer together. I live in a terrace where 5 houses are all joined together. You have cottages in England &You can get country houses but they have very hefty prices !! not fair !No one is you ...& that's your power https://www.blogger.com/profile/00132573188639516605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507936997454240566.post-40437634714252144052008-01-30T09:25:00.000-06:002008-01-30T09:25:00.000-06:00Teresa, ask lots and lots of questions, get lots a...Teresa, ask lots and lots of questions, get lots and lots of REFERENCES AND THEN ACTUALLY CALL THEM!!!

That's lots of headaches, etc. For ME it would be. We built a house ONE time and I said never ever again. The details just about killed me. That's why we searched and searched until we found what we wanted and just moved November 2006. <BR/><BR/>All kidding aside - I wish you the very best. It sounds like you're up to the challenge and it might be something you thoroughly enjoy. If so, you go girl! Can't wait to read/hear all about it. Take photos along the way. It will be fun to see it come together.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I love the style you're thinking about.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!<BR/>KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.com
