Final Flooring Selections

Well after several issues with flooring selection we have now made our final choices.  We had selected the previously shown Engineered Hardwood that we are absolutely in love with.  However we have been told that in this area the builders will not do an Engineered Hardwood except on a slab foundation.  This still makes very little sense to me as I know that this can be done and many other areas are able to do this.  We Like the floor that we have ended up with but we Loved the floor we originally selected.  It had lots of texture and color variation to it that gave it a very unique character that none of the other selections had.  We are trying to stick to somewhat of a craftsman theme for the house and both feel that the first selection was also much more fitting.  So far this has been my only issue with Ryan Homes but it is one that was very irritating.  Anyway as follows is our final flooring selections.

• Simple Touch Sand Swept Carpet - Whole House - $3,565
• Upgraded Padding to 8 lb. Admiral - Basement and Main Floor - $675
• Rustic Heritage 5" Wide Birch in Tobacco Brown - Foyer, Kitchen, and Dinette - $4,190
• Station Square X2122 - Upstairs Hall Bath - $50
• Station Square X2080 - Basement Powder Room - $50
• Station Square X2083 - Main Floor Powder Room, Laundry, Master Bath - $200

We also added a switched receptacle in the upper cabinets in the kitchen ($110) for future under cabinet lighting.
