After three years at Oaklawn, Laura and I decided that it was time to push forward. What that actually entailed, we weren't sure, but we looked for contractors, fiddled with remodeling designs and went into every patio home development in Jefferson County. We finally decided that remodeling was going to be the simplest and quickest solution. We condeeded that we weren't ready to downsize now and that most of the patio homes we found would have also required changes to make them accessible for me and building a new patio home was too costly and time comsuming.
The first contractor we were worked with, changed course on us several times so we decided to change contractors. This was obviously very frustrating because it left us with a great deal of lost time and extra, unexpected costs. We're now working with a different contractor who comes highly recommended and who recently did a major kitchen renovation project for a friend of mine. Hopefully, we will have the good results that we originally expected. So far, so good!
As most of you know, for the past three years we have been fighting constant battles, physically, emotionally and financially, as I continue to recover. I am now on my way to another stage of this "adventure" (as I promised Laura when we got married) and we hope you can laugh and cry and pray with us each day as we fill you in on the "goings on".
