The soils and structural engineers came by this morning with our GC. They stood outside in the yard discussing. No discussions with us. Hopefully our plans will not be thwarted by some fluke, like an underground stream running under our property. (Apparently, our northern neighbors might have this problem.)
Our designer brought over catalogs for kitchen cabinets and magazines related to kitchens. This will make life a lot easier than me going to the library to look for these types of books or magazines.
We asked our designer to go to the local tile store with us since we had stepped in earlier in the week and were boggled by the choices. The guy inside the shop really helped us out, pretty much giving a complete tour of their store. He definitely leans towards porcelain tile as opposed to real stone. The technology for making tiles have advanced such that they can make very realistic looking "stone" tiles. Plus, they're cheaper and non-porous. According to him, match the backsplash to the floors and the countertop to the cabinets. I'm hoping we can do an interesting yet low maintenance backsplash for the kitchen.
The only thing we know is that for the kids' bathroom, we'll lay out white subway tile with some sort of design around the shower area.
