Water temperature

In reviewing some of the appliance manuals I was downloading last night, I noticed that the washing machine and dishwashers want a hot water temperature in the 120-140 degree range, while most folks recommend a maximum hot water temperature of 120 degrees (or even less) to prevent possible scalding in a shower, etc. I think what we will do is have one tankless heater feed the kitchen and laundry areas (with a higher temperature setting, say 130 degrees) and the other feed the bathrooms (with a lower setting, say 115-120 degrees). Still a good "division of labor" between the two and makes sense temperature-wise.

Recent rains have slowed progress on the outside of the house (siding and stucco, etc.), but we should get some better weather for the next week or so at least. He has been working on the plumbing in the meantime.

Looks like we also came in well under budget for the fireplace, so we can apply some of that to our overage on appliances (getting more appliances than we initially planned) and we come out pretty even.

We are still waiting for costs for cabinets to come in from a couple locations to see which way we want to go there. Not necessarily apples-to-apples with different brands of cabinets, but we just want something that will last for quite a while.
