Thanks! We're excited about the plan... crossing our fingers that we can get it done in +/- 2013. Our current plan is to hire my brother-in-law to serve as a GC... and do some of it ourselves. We'll have to have people who know what they're doing come in and do the demo of the garage, excavate around the house, and build the foundation... from there - it'll depend on what my husband and his brother feel qualified to do... we'll at least do all of the finish work around the house. I live right in Madison near the arboretum. I'll have to check out your blog too! Thanks for stopping by! Hi Robin… Thanks!

So many fun things to see. As a LEED AP that symbol really caught my eye. LOL! We acutally just installed a geothermal system last year. We love it so much and it is quickly on it's way to paying for itself (8 years total and 4 years if you subtract the cost of a new LP system that we would have needed otherwise).

That will be a huge renovation! Are you going to hire it all out or DIY? You live in the Madison area right? We're just west of Madison. It's always fun to meet other area bloggers.

I agree it's beautiful and makes for a lovely drive. I couldn't stop taking pictures. Thanks for sharing! We saw a lot of this color combination when we drove through Montana on our way to Calgary.

If you're planning to visit a bunch of national parks - I'd invest in a National Park Pass. If you're interested in the scenery at all - there are Roadside Geology books that are pretty informative. What route are you thinking about taking? I can make a few recommendations.... Well – we didn’t use many resources… excepting for the google tubes.
