Homework

It's done! We went yesterday and signed our contract and finalized a few small details with three guys from Fraser Homes. I had no idea how the process would necessarily go, but they said that likely within three weeks that they would get a start on digging our basement :) They also gave us a little envelope full of business cards of different places we need to go to pick out various things. I realize that they need to order some things in, but I had no idea that we would be choosing these things so soon. I think that it's nice, because this way we can choose, then sit back and watch it all come together. I am thankful at this point that Jay and I have similar tastes in things, and that neither of us are very stubborn and are both willing to give a little when necessary.

Things that we need to go pick out in the next few weeks are:
towel bars, door hardware, soffit colour, interior doors and moldings and shingle colors from J and H Builders Warehouse, kitchen cabinets (and I assume counter tops) from Top Line Cabinetry, flooring at Floor Covering Direct, light fixtures at Fandango, Railings at BP Banister, stuff for Jay's roll-in shower at Beauty Craft or possibly the Plumb Shoppe, paint colours from General Paint, colour of stucco for the outside of the house, brick for the outside of the house from IXL, and I think that's it. Crazy! That's a lot of stuff to choose, but I think we have a pretty good idea of what we like and what we don't.

This is definitely getting exciting!
