Update and a lot done today...

So things are starting to slllooooowwwwww down. We stopped by the house on the way back in from Shreveport and found the shingles had been delivered. I doubt they will be going up tomorrow due to the 80% chance of rain :( Good news is the plumber had made some head way. I don't know all the technical terms but there are now a lot of white pipes running around the ceilings and out the roof. The HVAC is all in and done along with the electrical (as far as it can go at this point anyway). Corey and I are meeting with our builder, John Taylor, tomorrow at 1pm to layout and design the cabinets. They are being made out of a knotty alder plywood.

As for things accomplished today...
1. We successfully picked out the pool color. It's a really dark blue/green and should look like a natural pond....NO AMY not as natural as the ones we used to dare each other to swim in LOL
2. We, also, picked out the tile. Or, I should say Corey did. It is just standard tile to go around the inside edge of the pool. It has a lot of texture and is a muted beige brown color. Real simple to go with the flagstone border around the pool.
3. There will be three...hmmm how to word this.....water spigot things...they shoot water into the pool. We picked out the design and color of those. They will be copper in color and are a simply design similar to Fleur De Li's but not the extract same.
4. We finalized the granite for the kitchen, jack-n-jill bath, powder bath, bar and are getting a price for the piece for the outside small bar out side the sliding window. All that is left is our bathroom and we are hoping there will be a 9ft by 3 1/2ft remnant show up somewhere before we need a piece. We are using remnants in the jack-n-jill, powder bath and outside small bar. The price is much better that way :)
