Delayed :-(

Well, things aren't turning out the way we'd hoped. We are being forced to leave the rental house we've been staying in as the landlord wants his house back. We don't yet have the money we need to build the Eichler, so we are buying a "flippable" house in the area. We'll stay there a year or two until we are in a better financial position to build the Eichler.

Nice video about a couple who bought an Eichler and restored it.

Roof problems solved

We met with the builder and the structural engineer has changed some things to allow the roof to be the way I want it to be. Yay!

Meeting with the builder on Saturday

We'll be meeting with the builder this Saturday to go over the changes to the roof. Hopefully we can come to some sort of resolution that I am happy with!

Roof problems

Today I was looking at the finalized plans and found a problem with the roof design. Unfortunately the builder is out on vacation this week but I sent an email anyway. Hopefully next week we can get the problem resolved.

We spent the weekend looking at paint samples again. This time for the kitchen. We also looked at countertop finishes (laminates, granite, etc). And finally flooring. Tried to get samples online of the flooring.

Here is the flooring I want to use throughout the house:

And for the bathrooms and bedrooms:
