 Background

Purchased home in December 2021 - 1950 built, one previous remodel to add a sunroom.  Expect house is full of "surprises".

Started working with Architect, plans submitted July 2022 (yes really)

Contractor selected September 2022

Budget completely blown due to selections and just being new to this whole process.

Spent 2 months whittling down the scope with contractor to get it to an "extremely painful" price point instead of the unbuildable price point we started at.

Received permits Nov 2022 (yes it took that freaking long)

Demo started by me in late October, contractor started in November.
