Master Bedroom Addition - plans

We've been thinking ever since we knew baby #2 was coming that we really need 1 more bedroom, and frankly we need a bigger master bedroom for us! Our room it too small for the King bed we've always dreamed of, and the closet is so small that Nelson has to put his clothes in the spare room closet. So we finally met with an architect to draw up plans, which we looked at today and made only minimal changes too. Once the plans are approved by the city, we'll get bids and decide if we can afford to pull the trigger. Most likely Nelson will act as contractor and sub-contract each part of the job out, doing as much as he can himself. Luckily we know a few contractors, and a few specialists like an electrician and AC guy. We'll be looking for leads on a foundation/concrete person, framer, roofer and stucco-er. :)

Basically we'll continue the hallway through our current room and make that Baby #2's room (which will end up being basically the same size as Sofia's) and our new room will extend into the backyard and actually butt up against the deck. We're even adding a door from our room out onto the deck.

We're really excited and hope it works out. The clock is ticking, I've been telling people I want to have it done by Christmas to have 6 weeks to set up the baby's room and set up our new room. To which most people have said "yeah good luck!" Have some faith people, it's Madam Spreadsheet talking here!
