Thanks for your replies! These aren't things "I" have to have... most of these came from a thread from about 3 years ago and I wanted to eliminate things that are unnecessary or overkill which I know is quite a few. Allison, I apologize for the length. I, many times, have opened loooong posts and quickly returned to the main page. Thanks for coming back. ;) David - I should have removed Cat 7 from the list. Electrician already told me he uses Cat 5. You're right they were copied, that's why they don't make sense. As far as expense, if I pre-wire for many of these will that cut down a lot on the price initially? I should have added that in my first post. This is a whole house remodel and addition, and unfortunately we won't have a garage anymore, just a storage area, so the outlet for the extra refrigerator will be in the laundry room. I'm deleting extras now. I thought the 4 light switches were a bit much myself. Thanks for your help.

Make a list of everything you might want to know about how they work, what they offer, and differences in brands. Ask, don't be shy. Our job is to answer but please be direct. Just had a walk in today and still not sure what they wanted to know. Pretty sure they wanted something more but could not figure it out and they never asked. Just kept bouncing around a few times they seemed to get close. Want a layout or a few cabinets priced, up charges, to see a few sample jobs with prices, how we work. . Glad to, just ask. Otherwise we'll be guessing and cover what we think you should know. May not be what you want to know. May have lost a sale for me and they will bounce around till either someone guesses right or they wear out.

Your KD is very pro-active if she's willing to come to your house to measure before you've signed anything! What is her fee structure? Is she independent or affiliated with a kitchen manufacturer? If the latter, have you decided that you do want to go with that particular company? How happy are you with her two layouts? What kind of questions has she asked you about your routines, preferences? good luck!

George I don't know, I haven't researched the Euro Ariel..they do both say professional and both are made by P&G, I will have to check it out...you will be getting your tide prof soon, omg I double zip lock bagged them, than put them in bubble lined brown mailing envelopes, hubs took them to the post office, the next day I was ask to come to the post office and was ask permission to open one, I gave my permission, they only opened one, looked, sniffed and said thank you, gave me tape to reseal and told me my next package would be postage paid...I'm like omg you people are thinking this is drugs..they said they were sorry, but its a small town and they have found a lot of drugs passing thru the USP service...I was furious..they offered me a free postage package any size within reason and gave me a book of stamps..I guess I understand, its a small town and since I live outside of town they don't know me but hell that pissed me off...now I crack up when I think about it, I'm running a detergent ring thru the mail, lmao.I told them yes I'm addicted to Tide. By the time I left I had them all laughing, and I had a voucher for postage paid package up to 31 pounds and a book of stamps 12 postage paid long envelopes and a keychain with a tiny map of my town.This could only happen to me. Remind me to tell you the story of an older man that ended up in my grocery cart at walmart holding a box of Tide/ bleach. Haha.
