This is the year we are supposed to remodel our home and extend the back of the house by 10 feet.
Sounds like fun, eh? Yeah, not really. It is going to be quite a challenge with the kids (7, 5 and 6 months), especially the baby. So far we have had one quote from a contractor for $96,000.00… Yikes! I was actually thinking it would be more like 75K maybe 85K max. We will be getting two more bids from reputable contractors who have done work in our area.
To pay for this we are refinancing our home and at the same time we will be paying off a LOC that is a variable and is now at 8% ouch. So we are already used to the house payment because of the LOC. With that said…I am still nervous to take it on. DH is really wanting the additional space. I’ll post more when there is progress…

There is no way around it short of therapy. Things were often the way his parents made up with after not so great parenting moments. I could srite a whole other blog on that!
It's a good thing that I am not a spender; not sure where we would be then!
