Slow the ef down.

Between house building, kids activities, birthdays, end of school and work our life has been absolutely nuts lately!  Every night of the week we are booked with something. I'm ready for life to slow down once summer starts. 
Jesse did all of the wiring last weekend.  The plumbers, HVAC and electricians have all finished their in-wall jobs.  Which means we are ready for dry wall!  Last Friday I stopped by the house and they had loaded all of the dry wall in the house so they are ready to go this week.  They are scheduled to be finished with drywall in 2 weeks.  Now that we are at this stage it seems the builders are looking to us for many decisions.  This week we will need to decide on garage doors, interior doors, interior trim, flooring and paint colors.  Whew!
You would think picking a garage door would be easy.  Here is what you need to pick on the garage door along.  First of all there are 7 different "collections" from Clopay.  Each of those collections has varying levels of construction which affects the energy efficiency.  Then there is short panel or long panel.  About 20 different window options.  Type of hardware on the door.  
Here is what we ended up with (looks nothing like our house, but the garage door is what we picked)

Then onto the interior doors.  Same kind of thing.  7 different "series".  In those series 14 different "panels".  2, 3, 4, 5, 6 panels?  Arched or square?
Here is our door...we went with the 2 panel square:

We decided to meet with an interior designer regarding flooring choices and that will be on Thursday.  Our decision will need to be by Friday to make sure they are ready for install on June 23rd (the hard floors need to go under the cabinets).    She will also help us pick out paint colors which also need to be decided by Friday.  More pictures to come with flooring choice and some dry walled rooms!
