Just a quick update. Here's what is new:
1.) First estimate for getting the old fireplace re-pointed was way out of our price range. About $120 an hour. This price would be if Sean did all the prep work by chiseling out the existing mortar and laying a new concrete foundation for the brickwork on the hearth. We'll definitely be getting more estimates before deciding whether or not to do it ourselves.
2.) More sticker shock when the final price for our composite granite counter tops came back. We knew there had to be a beautiful alternative that we could love and live with and we've decided to go "green" with butcher block counter tops and island. The price for the granite composite? About $90 sq. foot. The price for the butcher block - $900 for everything.
3.)Tonight I'm shopping online for an under mount apron sink.
4.) We've been paying a friend to gut the extra rooms on the old side of the house. I'll post photos soon. It's coming along great!
