DEQ & a cabinet quote

We had a message from the DEQ inspector ... saying they want more information. I sent the construction set and contact info for the engineer and designer. Talked briefly on the phone, but did not really get an indication of whether the permit is likely to be issued or not. Probably will have more contact later today.

Meanwhile, a quote on kitchen cabinets has come in from Van Beek's. Now my turn to ask for more information as I wasn't sure which of several layouts it was based upon. There is quite of range of prices out there. Ikea cabinets are cheapest, on the order of about $4000 less for our small kitchen, but they are not particularly green. Typically not as solid as many custom cabinets either.
We had a quote about six months ago from GreenMaker Supply in Chicago that was about $1500 less, but left out some items (i.e. there was space for a dishwasher that we are not going to have. More quotes may come in.
