Hi Lovelythanks4asking
, thank you for the hardwood price! If group 2 is included for us as well, that will make a considerable dent in the right direction for our budget. When we went to the DC and asked about the hardwood, the person tossed a key ring with 5 samples and said that those were the ones included. They didn't appeal to us, so we found a few on the wall of hardwood that we liked much more. Wouldn't surprise me if we do in fact get the group 2 hardwood. Out of curiosity, were your carpeted rooms automatically upgraded to 40 ounce pile (instead of 35). Our sales agreement states 40 oz carpet, which was an upgrade in our current home. Makes me think we would get some nicer hardwood options too in that case. I'll have to wait and see, but the number you gave helps me to plan anyways!
Our list includes: executive kitchen package, backsplash, under cabinet and over cabinet lighting, granite, upgraded door hardware, hardwood throughout kitchen areas, hardwood in upper hall and master bedroom, level 3 floor tile in foyer on main floor, all tile 45 degree installation main floor and upper floor, glass shower with bench added, stair railing & volutes, trimmed arches.
On the chopping block: Fancy fireplace mantel, baseboards, outdoor pot lights, granite or quartz in bathrooms.
That's the main ideas... Will see what stays and what goes when the book arrives!
