We went to Metro Builders Supply this week to select the appliances. We have to know the specs before we can finalize the kitchen cabinets at Ward Wood. Metro was having their annual 'one day only' sale on the 21st. We picked out the frig, dishwasher, and stove but waited to purchase them til the day of the sale. We will pick them up in a few weeks. The hood vent will probably be ordered online and we took the microwave with us.
Ward Wood is making the kitchen cabinets and we've been there a couple times to work on the cabinetry plans. They will be maple. They e-mailed us the first set of plans and we had to make a few changes. The second set of plans was pretty close. We chose a different microwave at the last minute which changed a cabinet size. Chris has changed his mind on the door style and we scratched the whole island as well as the corbel's. Hopefully today we can sign off on those and get them ordered. They are about 4 to 5 weeks out in production.
The house is total electric right now but there is gas out at the street. Chris has been getting estimates on having a gas line run from the street to the house as well as inside the house.
He's also been pricing heat pumps, which are electric, and gas furnaces. Currently the house has two heat pumps which I believe one works well and the other just works. The kitchen stove we bought is dual fuel, gas stove/electric oven, so thats the reason for the gas line being done so soon.
Chris purchased a few ridge caps for the roof and replaced them. The trees had rubbed them off in a couple of places. Other than that the roof is in excellent condition. He also cleaned out the gutters until his blower went kapooey. He'll have to finish that job some other day.
And he locked up the gate to the pasture. Seems the neighbors were grazing their horses back there and didn't know the house had sold.
The planning stage has just about come to an end. Now the real work begins.
p.s. Just wanted to add that the house is on city water and septic. The well is for the sprinkler system. Also, the propane tank is to heat the pool.
