Abandoned plans

So that would be a big "NO!" on the major remodel. Here's several reasons why it's not a good idea for us at this point:

• It would take almost all of our savings just to pay for a very stripped down project. It would be at least 2 years before we could finish the bathroom that we'd be roughing out.
• Is anyone's job really secure at this point?
• Committing to Eugene for 5 years is not really an option for us at this point. Things are just too precarious
• The house is pretty awesome as it is. And with just a few tweaks (which I'm sure you'll all be hearing more about later) it will be even more awesome.
• We're just not fancy enough

It sort of feels like a dodged bullet. When push came to shove, we were just not willing to take the risk. Live and learn.
