Home Depot Design Expo

Sunday was spent at the local Home Depot Design Expo in Braintree, MA. For those who haven't had the
pleasure, this place isn't your run-of-the-mill Home Depot. This place is chock full of model kitchens, bathrooms and more cabinet handles and knobs than you've ever seen. We weren't there buying one of their $15,000 refridgerators, but rather shopping in their "in-stock" section for bathroom pedestal sinks, faucets for the bathrooms and the kitchen and picking out tile for the foyer and the laundry room. We typically refer to Lowes and H.D. and the "$250 store", well for this place....Add another zero. The good news is that we have a meeting today with our builder Steve to review the final finish schedule. Here is a quick building update...The exterior is 85% shingled with just the top 2 peaks left to finish. The main level is 80% plastered and the basement and upper levels are all sheetrocked. The plasterer says they'll be done with the house by friday (my bet is by Sunday) and we can start priming and painting next week. We have the Sheldon Slate guys coming on Monday the 12th to do the templating for the counters, so that means the kitchen cabinets will be in by then. Thanks for reading and i'll post more pictures later this week. For all those in the market for home fixtures and ideas, take the time to visit the Expo, you won't be diasppointed.
