New House: Outdoor Stairs, HVAC, Sinks

A few smaller things have been finished at the house over the past week. They put in stairs out the sliding glass door in the dining room. (We'll be designing and building a deck - with the help of my dad - probably next spring/summer. For now, we have a set of stairs going to a concrete landing directly out our door so we can get out to grill, etc.) They installed our two vanity sinks in the bathrooms. Both are a dark "Canyon" polystone. Basically, polystone means that they're a hard plastic composite with a bunch of color flecks throughout it - they turned out awesome. They also installed the large mirrors above each vanity last week. Although not as fun to look at, they also installed our furnace and hooked up all the ductwork. Pretty sweet lookin, huh?

Other than this, we've just been grouting and cleaning the tile the past week, looking at lighting possibilities, and picking out carpet. It stinks that quite a few of these places and people we have to talk to are only open during business hours and limited time on Saturdays. So, hopefully we'll be able to knock out a couple appointments on Saturday morning and get some more decisions made!
