Buying new appliances - the decision

So after all the advice I gave in the previous post, we ended up following none of it. Well not all of it. We knew we wanted some decent quality a fridge that was big enough for family growth and some added features for convenience. We ended up going with Jenn-Air appliances because (and yes this is not the most scientific reason) but the handles of the Jenn-Air Eurostyle appliances match our cabinet hardware.I hope that matching the handles was a good idea... humm...

The Fridge

We did end up with some of the features I criticized including a water distributor and an ice-maker, however, after doing some research we found out that a water dispensor is environmentally friendly because it avoids having to run your tap water while you wait for it to cool down.

The Stove

This was my little luxury, it has both a warming burner and a warming drawer, not to mention it has a convection oven

The Dishwasher

This was JF's luxury, which is odd considering he doesn't like to use our current dishwasher. It has a stainless steel interior, has a soil sensor, and delayed start.

The Big Dig

We got the call today, the one telling us that work has begun and our house is now officially under construction. So what did we do? We went down to visit the hole and inspect our soon to be basement. Here are some of the memories.
