The city inspector came to check out the electrical and plumbing systems. He walked around the new area for 10 min or so and gave the official go-ahead. So, the plumber returned and turned the gas back on and filled up the "grand canyon" that was created in the foundation when he moved the sink plumbing. He pointed out that there was some rust in the 12 year old hot water heater that we should keep an eye on. Argh...
Otherwise, the insulation guy came by to determine the insulation needs. We will have him beef up the insulation and add radiant barrier to the old part of the house as well so another AWA coming my way. That should be getting underway this week.
The sheetrock sub also came by to determine how much sheetrock will be needed. At lease this won't result in another AWA. It sounds like sheetrocking and texturing may commence on Saturday and will take a week. Once that's done, Andy should be able to start assembling and installing cabinets. What fun!!!
The HVAC guys came back and started replacing the old ductwork, plenum, etc for the downstairs HVAC unit. Of course, now that the weather is cool, it will be next spring/summer before we really will know how much difference all of this will make.
On the bathroom front, we did get a call from the granite company. In the last post, we mentioned that our first choice stone shattered when they were cutting it last Friday. Our second choice was already reserved for another customer so Andy was planning on driving back out to Keller (Ft Worth really) and pick another stone. Mike called Andy Monday morning and the other customer released the stone as their designer (oh my!) decided to go another direction. This stone should work out well. Check out the colors:

| This is the granite for the two master bath vanities. It is a cream color with brown highlights. |
 |
| The palette of the bath. There is also a medium brown on the wall to the right and the trim will be a chocolate brown. |

| These are the colors of the accent tiles. |
