Still Framing....




Some days I think its detrimental to our mental health to visit the site everyday...The other day we had framing issues, Friday saw the electrical box in a weird location, Saturday saw the trusses overhanging the small box when they should be flush to the wall and Sunday brought the installation of the gutters. Yes, that's right...they installed the gutters on the bare wall while they were still framing. By Sunday night Jason and I were so tired of hearing the comment "I can't believe they installed gutters while they are still framing the house!" We couldn't believe it either.

This weekend we went to Ferguson to pick the plumbing and to ProSource to drop off the sample chart for rubber stair treads. We made some changes in our plumbing selections from what we posted on the blog earlier. Changes included dual flush toilets from Kohler (for more GreenStar points), a Kohler Archer tub and simple shower faucet set from Delta for the 2nd bath, Kohler Oblo controls for master shower, Delta kitchen faucet with low flow aerator instead of Hansgrohe.

For the stair treads, we are going with Raised Square rubber treads from Johnsonite in Storm Cloud or Medium Gray. Prosource is ordering samples for us.
