July 23 - The Kitchen Cabinet Decision

Not much construction will happen on our house this week. We're hopeful that the Geostem crew out of Ottumwa will drill our 4 wells for the geothermal system. But we have no confirmation as yet.

However, Brenda and I have made the decision on our kitchen cabinets. We are excited that our cabinets will be made by Prairie Knoll Cabinetry in Beaman, Iowa. After much frustration dealing with local Amish cabinetmakers, we called Hal at Prairie Knoll early last week. In short order, Hal came through with the answers, design, drawings and numbers that we liked. Sounds like our project will fit in with his other commitments this summer/fall. As some of you know Hal is Jill Marshall's brother. We're looking forward to working with him on the kitchen and possibly other needs as we finish the house!

Now we need to rethink our decision on the kitchen countertop. We had previously chosen a Cambria (quartz) countertop through Lockridge but that will change. We may stay with the Cambria but it's doubtful that we'll get it through Lockridge. Interestingly, the semi-custom factory-built Bertch kitchen quote from Lockridge was by far the most expensive of the 4 quotes that we received.
