Let the fun begin / Kezdődjék a móka :-)

...well as far as I'm concerned, the fun begins now:-) Since I don't really know much about drilling, rebars, sump pipes and pumps, and who knows what else, I haven't had a chance to get involved in the project so far. But now, as we're transitioning to "my territory" ie. interior design, I'm getting more excited. I talked to Dave, our contractor yesterday and I was also introduced to our plumber (not Joe :-) I'm going to get a list with the number of faucets and sinks we'll need (it's not that I can't count them on the house plan)... So I'm ready for my first "designer" challenge :-) Man, I've just checked a website, and found thousands of different faucets... Good thing the price tags help me to eliminate quite a few of them, and I also got some good advice what to look for when we pick a faucet.


I just realized that I haven't shared the house plan with you guys yet, so high time to upload it.  (Click on the picture to see the original).I can't wait to upload "real" pictures of the real house as it's being built :)


...legalábbis ami engem illet, a móka csak most kezdődik. Mivel nem igazán tudok sokat a talaj fúrásról, vasbeton oszlopokról, vizelvezető csövekről és szivattyúkról meg még ki tudja miről, ezért eddig nem nagyon voltam aktiv részese a projektnek. Most viszont, hogy az " én területemre" evezünk, már inkább izgalmasabb a dolog. Tegnap beszéltem Dave-vel, az épitészünkkel, aki bemutatott a vizvezeték szerelőnek is (nem Joe:-) Kapok majd egy listát, hogy mennyi csaptelepre és mosdókagylora lesz szükségünk (nem mintha ezt nem tudnám megszámolni a tervrajzon:)
Szóval készen állok a első "lakberendezői" kihivásra. Te jó ég, most néztem meg egy weboldalt, csaptelepek ezrei közül választhatok...Még szerencse, hogy az ár némileg segit a szelektálásban, és kaptam pár jó tanácsot is, mire érdemes figyelni, amikor csaptelepet választunk...
Most jöttem rá, hogy még meg sem osztottam veletek a tervrajzokat, ideje feltöltenem....(Kattints a képre, hogy nagyobb méretben lásd).:( Alig várom, hogy a valódi, készülő házról töltsek fel képeket...

Making progress

So we met this contractor last Saturday, but before that we had a fun adventure. As we were dropping off Easter Service invitation fliers of our church at the neighborhood, we came across a nice house with a few features that we plan to have. So Wayne rang and a lady answered the door. It turned out that they were Christians too. We made a compliment about their nice house, adding that we were planning to remodel our house too and we liked the features of theirs. The lady was like, oh my husband is a contractor and actually he's done all the work on our house. They even invited us in and showed us around...the icing on the cake was that it turned out that the husband was Croatian (I could tell he had some European accent:) and after I mentioned that we were from Hungary, he said 'oh, then we're neighbors' . I like these little “adventures” or coincidences, I know there are no coincidences though. Anyway, back to our meeting with the contractor. I can tell that it wa...

The big day:) / A nagy nap :)

Yes, the big day is here: we started the demolition on Monday, June 7th! The previous night was crazy, we had to clean out the whole house...Even though I had started it quite a few days earlier, still there was a lot in there. Clothes in the closets, kitchen utensils, lots of canned food in the pantry (I wonder why on earth we have to keep so much stuff in the pantry) folders in the file cabinet, toys,  you name it...Travis came over to help take out the big pieces, like the stove, TV, refrigerator etc. We were up till midnight, so exhausted by then that could hardly move :) We just pulled out everything, put them in boxes, not caring any more about sorting things...Now most of them are in boxes all around - in the shed, in the pool (this is our new storage place, it had been drained,of course:-) I'm sure it'll take days till we can find everything we need :) After the long, tiring day, we fell asleep really quickly in the motor home :) Monday morning came fast, the demo guys...
