Power, Water and Cabinets

We picked out our plumbing fixtures last week. I think we did really good. We were able to get pretty much what we wanted and we were under our budget allocated. We were even able to get the pot-filler over the range.Last Saturday we did a walk-through for the electrician's work. Everything was pretty much the way it was supposed to be. We only found a few things that needed to be changed or fixed. One big thing that we discovered was in the Laundry Room. The setup for the washer and dryer was backward from how you traditionally see it. Since both of these are going to be front load, the doors on these open away from each other. After we pointed it out, Dave was quick to say that it was an error on the draft and that it would be fixed right away. This must have happened because we flipped the plan when we found this lot.We also finally settled on what our kitchen cabinets were going to look like. To give you a summary:The wood is alder, the door sytle is French Country Square and the color is Wheaton with a black glaze. We are going to do the island, the hood over the range and the cabinets under the range in Black with the Regent door style. You can see these individually at http://www.crystalcabinets.com or in the showhouse on http://www.tdbuilders.com.

The electrician has started wiring the house. It looks like most of the can lights and lighting outlets have been placed. Also, a lot of the basic electrical wiring has been run to the various outlets and light switches. Data and phone has not been run yet. We're going to wait and see what the budget allows for him to fun as far as data cables go. Anything that he doesn't run will be run by me for data cables.
It also looks like they've started to put the shingles on the roof. The back of the house has shingles on it right now.
I've posted more pictures on flickr.

These Aren't Microsoft Windows

We've got windows! The framers are done, we've got tarpaper on the roof, the windows are in and the plumber is pretty much finished roughing in. We've taken some pictures of some of these things and posted them on our Flickr site.
We are really excited for how good our window looks in the master bathroom. (As seen here.)
