Could that be....a kitchen?

Check this out - it's the kitchen! Ok, it may not be exciting to you, but the kitchen size has been determined and is partially framed. You can also see that the plumber has been busy and there are now supply lines running around the house. They are using the latest & greatest product called PEX which is some type of plastic line. Apparently it's easy to run & get where you want, it supposed to last a million years, and doesn't impart any kind of taste or odor to the water.

A few other quick notes: have not nailed down the kitchen yet, but the plan from the previous post is probably the way we are going. 90% for sure we are doing Ikea at this point. We have one other call in on a recommendation but no word on that yet.

We are considering changing the dining room sliding door out for a french door. When we see the layout now, if we use outward swinging doors, they won't interfere with anything. Not a for sure, just a thought.

Next week we start thinking about siding and what we want to do with the house. More on that as we start thinking about it. We have picked out the fixtures for the showers because they need the valves to rough them in. Sink fixtures can come later. We are also trying to decide whether to do the fireplace on an angle, or straight against the wall. This is the fireplace we are getting, but it may not be off the ground like you see here Valor Fireplaces


Oh - the last thing, we got rid of the closet door in the corner of the living room. It's strictly linen storage now, accessible from the guest room and from the guest bath. It just seemed to make sense. It means the vacuum and ironing board go in the guest closet, but that's ok.

I think that's it for now. A lot has happened this week and things continue to move forward. Check out the photo album for more pics...
