Fireplace and plumbing

Sat. we went to KBL to look at the std fireplace that Dan puts in. We liked it and the only upgrade we did was an electric ignition. Now we have to decide what we want around it. I think my dad is going to do the mantle when we do the trim work. I was thinking brick around it like the brick outside, but the slate looked kind of nice too. Everything is sooo expensive.


This morning we went to Connor Co. to look at plumbing fixtures. The plumber picked out basic stuff for his estimate. Not the cheap stuff, but middle of the road. Now we are in a debate about how much upgrading we are going to do. Steve likes the stainless steel look, and I'm perfectly fine with chrome. We like the stuff picked out for the girls bathroom, so that is done. We upgraded the kitchen faucet and the sink to an undermount. We like the tub (seen above), but we don't know if Dan is going to do a drop-in, or wall to wall. I have to wait until he gets back from Mexico.... grumble, grumble. We are having discussions about the faucets. The one that was picked out is traditional looking

This is the one I like and there is a couple others. I guess we don't have too much time to dwell on this, because of ordering. The first things in are the girls bath and our bathtub. We'll get it done. I'm not sure of when it is needed, because they still have to do the roof, windows, doors, siding, and garage door.
The debate will continue tonight.
