The 25th of november 2008 was the day we became landowners.

Yes! IT IS FOR REAL! We are now two huge steps closer to getting our house done. Last Tuesday the 17th , we made the final order for the house. Also, our permit-to-build application has arrived at the county administration office .

But the decision process is far from over. In order to give us extra time to plan the interior we 've decided to buy a lot of stuff ourself instead of getting it from Myresjöhus. This will also give us a bigger selection to choose from.

This week:
Decide exact where to place the water related items in the bathroom.

Soon:
* Decide for the exact position off the house.
* Detailed planning off our own road, placement and lightning.
* Make arrangements with Telia for the phone wires.

When the permit-to-build has been approved:
* Pay for our piece of land.
* Start planning for our little garden house.

Later:
* For the Kitchen we need to buy dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove top and the kitchen faucet.
* For the master bath and the dressing room we need to buy the whole interior, including the tile.
* The other bathroom will also need to get the whole interior, including the tile.
* The laundry/ second entrance room will also need a washing machine and tumble drier. In that room we also have to plan for some storage and hanging of wet clothes.

* Make a plan over the electric wireing , or actually customize the plan for us, including outlets, indoor and outdoor lighting and media wires. We plan to get some professional help with the lighting in the house.
* Interior design in all the rooms; wallpaper, painting etc.
* Order the tile for the first entrance and the laundry room/second entrance.

We will probably mostly have white painted walls,
maybe some wallpapers. Below is some
sample of the latest kids collection of Sandbergs
that we received in the mail today.

Note to us selfs,
* Prata med rörläggaren INNAN inköp av blandare för dusch i Master Bath
* Glöm inte att instruera snickaren att runda av hörnen på fönsterbrädorna, samt att diskutera höjden på väggen i Master bedroom.

It is time to make the final order on the house, on Tuesday at 8.15 am we will do it.

The kitchen, the big picture of the exterior and the interior plan is finished. Right now we are working on the two bathrooms, well J is mostly watching the EC in Soccer.

H3ll Yeah! Progress!!

We almost got the paper work done, that has to be finished before we can apply for the building permit. We hope to be able to submit it during the next week... but we don't bet on it

29 April

Signed lots of papers for the lot today.

NOW the only thing that will stop this project is that we wont get permission to build, and that is very unlikely.

The contract says that the lot will be ours 14 days after we get the permission. We want that to be tomorrow so that we can start using the lot. The seller at the house firm thinks that will be before 30 of June, the realtor think it will before 1 of September, our contract says it has to happen before the 1 of October.

So now we have to speed up things so that something will happen.

Vanans makt är stor, men det är ju bara dumt att surfa omkring där nu. Man vill ju inte hitta något bättre nu. Fast det är nog svårt att hitta något bättre. En lika mysig tomt men närmare allmänna kommunikationer in till Göteborg i så fall.

Papers and brochures is all over our place. It is hard to focus on one thing at the time. But we made some progress and have made some decisions.

In Sweden most people settle for a garage with room for one or two cars. Garage for three cars does not exists, at least it is very rare. It is not like driving on Alcosta Blvd towards San Ramon (from Dublin) in Cali where most houses have three car ports.

We will only park one car in the garage and are planning to have an isolated storage room added. We are not sure this plan over where to place the garage will work out. We asked our contact at Myresjöhus today and he is going to look in to it.

Other than that we have figured out some solutions for the inside, we are planning for one more walk-in closet. The Kitchen will probably be smaller and with an island. The dinning area we plan to move to the livingroom.

Point of no return!
Avtal med husleverantör tecknat.

I guess this is the best anniversary present I will get from Jonas (and the only one). We signed the papers for our first house today on our third wedding anniversary. Today C is turning 4 months too.
