We didn't want to spend what they were asking to upgrade all 4 bathrooms but the "1 up" to Fairfield Spice was reasonable.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-53235847953941265442013-06-18T19:25:17.803-04:002013-06-18T19:25:17.803-04:00Thank you so much.

Most of the subs are eager to make the customer happy and if there is a choice to be made with an install - like "would you rather have this here or there?" It's nice to provide that input. I have a few items I'm kicking myself over and wishing I would have been there when they did it because I don't like the location (like the bathroom fan in my beautiful tray ceiling in my master bath). Or the thermostat in my formal dining room where I plan on putting a buffet, etc. I guess you win some and lose some.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-44148557700766390442013-06-18T15:17:45.198-04:002013-06-18T15:17:45.198-04:00It looks great.

Mostly to save costs. The flooring installer did it anyway. I've noticed they do not install floating floors until after cabinets and they but up next to the cabinets and are held in place by shoe molding. So laminate and engineered woods.<br /><br />The vanities are standard...luck of the draw. Before we saw them today, we were going to replace them sooner, rather than later. Now were thinking later. Other than the cheap drawers and slides, they are not bad looking cabinets.

I asked about this during the sales process and we were told that this is the case, but when we met with our PM he told us he won't do this because the floors get scratched up when they come in to do the cabinets, so they now do it afterwards.<br /><br />2) Are your bathroom vanities standard? I requested something similar to this (drawers on the outside and the doors that open in the center) but they refused to do this as a non-standard. Instead, we'll have the door, a set of drawers, a door and then another set of doors. I like the symmetry of what you have so much better!<br /><br />Also I LOVE your hardwood floors. What color are they?<br /><br />www.buildingwithryanhomes-parkplace.blogspot.comBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653489208963491450noreply@blogger.com
