  Now, I do not me 'we' in the technical sense of Tim and Sarah.  Between our day jobs and aforementioned toddler/psychotic dog combo, there is no way we are crazy enough to tackle that project.  Plus, we like to ski, snowshoe, skate-ski (yes, Tim found yet another sport to gear up for), ice climb, and occasionally even hang out in our free time and we heard DIYers, well, basically DIY all the time.  Weekends.  Nights.  Mornings.  No thanks, we will pass on that crazy.
  We hired a meticulous, honest, Type A general contractor and entered into the wonderful world of home remodeling.  Yikes.  Who cares about picking out toilet paper holders?  Or cabinet pulls?  Or wall texturing?  I am learning a lot about subfloors, plumb walls (or out of plumb, in our house), and electrical inspections (you are responsible for prior homeowners sins, by the way).
