Meeting VII, VIII: floor plans and plumbing fixtures

We met on Monday of this week to go over details of the floor plans because our designer is getting them ready for city approval. eek! We had to make minor adjustments to the second story because of something called the Daylight Plane. It's to prevent our second story from being too massive and possibly encroaching on our neighbors. Also, the land surveyor came out too. He was scheduled for last Friday but it rained that day, therefore postponing the appointment.

Today, we went over plumbing fixtures with Jim from Classic Plumbing. He came to our home with a cart of large catalogs. Lots to choose from but here are some that we picked out (but might not necessarily stick with, depending on cost/design change).

Powder Room
* Kohler Memoirs pedestal sink, Stately design
* Kohler Memoirs matching toilet, Stately design
* Grohe Seabury faucet and lever handles in brushed nickel

Kitchen
* Franke Beach Sink in the island
* Undermount double basin for the kitchen sink, possible like this
* Faucet with detachable spray

Upstairs bathroom
* Kohler Caxton undermount sink
* acrylic bathtub
* Grohe Eurodisc II faucet in chrome
* Matching Grohe Eurodisc II shower fixtures in chrome
* Toto dual-flush toilet

Master bathroom
* Kohler Caxton undermount sink
* Grohe Chiara Neu facuet in chrome
* Grohe Rainshower shower head on a ceiling arm
* handspray in the shower
* Kohler Tea-for-Two bathtub

Notes:
- Acrylic tubs have smooth finishes and cast iron tubs have grooved finishes to prevent slipping.
- Whirlpool tub costs $6000 and a soaking tub costs $2400.
