OK, so Andrew and I have now moved on to Plan C. We spent some time talking to architects about possible renovations of the house to create a master bathroom and a larger master suite. The cost is going to be prohibitivly expensive considering what we are going to be able to sell our house for, in any market, let alone this one. So, after considering the opportunity cost of that huge chunk of change, we are going with a new plan! We are going to concentrate on creating an outdoors that we can spend more time in and enjoy.
This fits quite nicely with our concept of "Suburban Homesteading". While, I recieved the nix on chickens from the Department of Health, we are going spend some time and money learning how to seriously garden and grow food. To that end, we ordered seeds today from Seed Savers Exchange and I have started saving cans from the cat food to start seeds in! We bought some fluorescent lighting and some shelving as well, now we just need to find some room in the basement to put everything up!
And of course, Zach needs to help around the house. Here he is before today's nap taking spoons out of the dishwasher just as fast as I put them in!

Hi M,
Last year I started my flowers in pots made of newspaper. You can then plant them right into the ground. I would have had success if the deer hadn't come along and eaten everything!
