I’m psyched about the new house. Can’t wait for it to be completed. Unfortunately, it isn’t supposed to be done until January or February of next year.
One of the coolest features so far is that we upgraded the appliances. I had been planning on upgrading and getting black appliances. When we went to the design center, the option was given for upgrading everything to stainless steel. I love stainless steel. The price difference was only a couple hundred dollars and in the grand scheme of things, that’s not a whole lot. The package we bought gives us a stainless steel dishwasher, range, microwave, and we added the stainless refrigerator.
The other upgrade that I really like is the structured wiring. I made sure to put at least one LAN port in every room. The LAN ports are close to the cable outlets (TV location) so I can play Xbox Live anywhere in the house without having to mess with my wireless game adapter. The company that will be doing the structured wiring is also wiring speakers to the living room, family room, back patio, garage, and master bedroom. The family room will have surround sound prewired in the ceiling, so I can keep Christie happy by not running wires all over the place.
