Jury duty is over

Served my one day on jury duty today and didn't get called to serve, so I am done for the next year.
.
Our builder was out ordering the "solatubes" (not sure of the brand) we have going in the master closet and our son's bathroom for some extra light. For those that haven't seen them, they are something like this:

I was also wondering about the solar powered attic fan vents, but our builder has had some not-so-wonderful experiences with them, as he says he has one and has put them in for others, but they tend to break down after a while. He's putting extra eave and gable-end vents in and along with the foil-backed roofing and whole-house fan, thinks it should be fine without the extra fans.
.
We are anticipating a little rain over the next few days (40-70% chance of showers). We'll have to see how much we can get done with that kind of pattern.
.
We have to get our plumbing fixtures selected soon - we found some nice, offbeat ones at a local store my wife wants to use in our son's bathroom, but I think we might go with Delta for most of them. We found some nice ones we like in a catalog and need to go talk about pricing with the plumbing supply place our contractor uses frequently. He can get a nice discount there, and they have been very helpful and friendly when we visited previously.
