Getting organized (or trying)

I have built my master spreadsheet for keeping track of the project costs, but we are falling short in other areas of the project. We have notes and phone numbers on scraps of paper all over the house - not good.

Now, that we are getting to the point where dates matter and things need to be coordinated we are getting serious about getting our stuff together better.

One trip to Office Depot later and we are ready with a big binder to keep all invoices, faxes, and estimates. A dry erase 60 day wall planner to keep track of all our tasks and dates.

It is getting real (writing a $12k check helps jar your sense of reality) and we are getting excited. Our contractor gave us some dates of demo starting August 14. In order to confirm that we need to get all the other parties aligned: electrician, tiler, and ensure that our materials are correctly ordered on time. Fun fun.
