change orders... before ground breaking


Between the contract signature and the groundbreaking we managed to make a couple of extra purchase decisions – imagine that – I got upsold!

When we purchased our home it was only a couple of weeks from completion by the builder. Both the driveway and the lanai were covered in red brick pavers.

Pavers look great – but most of you who know wife.com realize that she is NOT a big fan of the color red. On election nights she likes to see red states – but not a lot of other red colored objects get her OK. Realizing that we were putting down another 1400 square feet of deck – we decided to pull the existing pavers ourselves and then get more of a sandstone colored paver not only around the new pool, but under the lanai as well.

We would save $700 removing the bricks themselves…. It seemed a good idea at the time.
