Parallel plans, pre June

There's no time to start seriously on our Guest Wing project before we head overseas for a couple of months. We do email the architect and builder that we used for our recent home reno, to let them know we'd like to talk about another project around September. And we get a bit of basic maintenance done - patching a ceiling, replacing light globes and tap washers, replacing window blinds, removing a tree and cleaning up the back courtyard until there is room for a car.
