We had the house inspected and needless to say for a 43 year old it was in rather good shape. Some electric work needs to be done, there are some issues with water drainage, and one of the basement walls is bowing a little bit (from the water drainage problem).
We submitted our list of things we would like fixed and are waiting for the owners response.
On a side note, Theresa got so tired of dealing with mortgage brokers that she gave up on them. One guy actually came back 1% lower then they said they could do. Funny how that work isn't it?
Today we went to the Washington Home & Garden show. They had a guy talking about kitchen design who said more or less that the "work triangle" (meaning stove, fridge, and sink) should really be a work diamond adding garbage location to it. He also mentioned that you should have at least 2 different lights of counter tops. 36" is the normal for cabinets, but you should have at least one area (most likely a table) at 30" for baking.
It makes sense now that I think about it. I just wish he had more ideas for a gallery style kitchen.
Other good news from the show, we can get the bathtub color change from ugly updated rose to white. It takes about 3 hours, and you will have to wait about 48 hours before using. So that will save some money for the bathroom remodel.
I am currently looking into doing some smarthome technology. I am looking at security, lighting, and things like that. Haven't looked at prices yet though.
