Bathroom Countertops
Well this may be the deal of the entire project. My beautiful bride found two matching 60" double sink granite countertops for $39.00 each. Crazy good deal as you cannot even get laminate countertops for this price. So I will have $80.00 plus some mounting screws in the countertops in both bathrooms!

Pex distribution block
All Pex has been run in interior walls and I spent a little extra for a Pex distribution block. Basically a breaker box for your water lines. Cool thing is you can turn off the water to just the kids bathroom if you are working on something in there. This is where all the Pex lines terminate and will attach to the distribution block.

A/C
A/C's are on site. I went with two mini-splits (One in main living area, and one in the master suite). Then just A/C & Heater window units in the two kids bedrooms.
I did get a quote on a traditional system, but it was too spendy for me. The mini splits and window units will cost approximately 37% of my quoted traditional HVAC cost. I will have 52,000 btu's of air conditioning capacity or 4.3 tons. I am guessing this A/C package will freeze us out of this place, combined with the R23 insulation system. In Mississippi heating concerns are much much much less than cooling, but it should be more than adequate.

Reclaimed wood
Score! So my mother in law gave me this entire stack of rough cut lumber. The only catch was I had to sort through 6 big stacks of lumber out in a field since hurricane Katrina. Most of it was too far gone, rotten, rats, bugs, snakes, and more bugs. It took me several afternoons to cut the good sections out, to get this stack. I plan to treat with insecticide use it for several rustic touches. For sure a rustic wainscoting in my boys bunk room. Basically the thought is make their room look like a hunting lodge bunk room.
