The financing has been secured. The detailed drawings submitted to the city for the permits. We have found a house close by to live in for 6 months, closer to Special K.'s high school then we are now.
We selected our kitchen and bathroom fixtures, including the special faucet that turns on just by touching it with your skin (Colin is thrilled).
And they found asbestos in the house.
So, now we have to pay for specialist removal and are awaiting for the quote to do that. Which means the upgrades we wanted are all on hold.
To make matters worse, the basement bathroom, which had mold on it because of a leak in an upstairs bathroom, turns out to be the bad stuff. So we have to include removal of that, too.
I know in the end we will have a safe, healthy and beautiful home....I just wish it wasn't such a trial to get there. Hopefully, this will be the worst and rest will go much smoother. That's what I tell myself!
