We have a garage!

Man, it's killing me not to have Photoshop so I can get the pictures on here in proper format.

Yesterday, we went for our electrical walkthrough (to ensure electrical outlets and light switches are properly placed, etc.) and we have a garage! And trusses! (on site but not on the house)

It looks great. Except that there is just about NO space to the right of the rightmost garage door, so we can't put our favorite gorgeous coach light out there. We'll have 3 spaces and 2 lights, plus a floodlight on top so we can actually see something. It figures - the one thing we LOVE and it doesn't work out.

We also revised some choices on the bathroom vanities. We were $1800 overbudget after choosing solid surface for the bathroom vanities. And we didn't even really like it that much. So we went instead with cultured marble for the master bath (plain white with integrated sinks) and ... laminate for the 2nd bath. Gah. I can't believe it. But it was either that or the white cultured marble. We went with pale green and pale blue, so it'll be nice and coordinating. Hopefully we don't have girly girls who insist on pink and purple bathroom decor. Anyway, at least this way we have some color, and we won't be wracked with guilt if we want to rip it out in 5 or 10 years.

Who knew it was so impossible to find attractive and durable countertop materials?

D's: Can't remember my stupid Google user name. Anyway, can you not put the lights over the doors? We have coach lanterns over our garage doors in AL and they look fine. - Missy
