Appliances, plumbing and cabinetry have all been selected and ordered. Whew. So this week, Mrs. met with the electrician to map out the locations of all the light fixtures, outlets, switches, etc.. Then she got the framer to replace a window that was too big, and got him to add some transom windows to a couple of rooms that needed a little more natural light. We're still trying to talk the builder into putting a glass block wall in the bathroom above the bathtub, instead of the standard window he already installed - because why would we want a big window above the bathtub? He's resisting. He's also dropping hints that we've already burned up all his profit on this house with our change requests. We're like "Dude, this is stuff we all agreed to before you started!" So, we're paying extra for those new transom windows.

Tomorrow, I'm going to meet with the electrician and we're going to talk about Cat-5, coax and speaker wiring. Man stuff! It's 104 degrees out right now. Supposed to be even warmer tomorrow. I hope we can get our talking done quickly!

Progress is progressing.

And, we received our first bill for the construction loan. Luckily, it's for less than two hundred dollars. Next month's should be much bigger.

Kitchen floor. The cabinet people have marked-off spaces on the floor where the appliances and cabinets will go. The electrician put circles on the floor where ceiling lights will go.
