April 30 - Shopping with subcontractors

We spent much of the day visiting the subcontractor businesses that supply several of the interior elements for the house. We have been to the granite vendor before, but today picked up a 2nd sample of granite for possible use in the 2 baths. We checked with the vendor that handles both the gas fireplace and furnace, and also spent considerable time at the flooring vendor, matching carpet samples, wood flooring, and granite for the "right" combination. We have learned that "there are 72 shades of beige" and multiple types, colors, and thicknesses of granite!
