Alarm installation starts tomorrow

.
This picture is in here strictly because our son is a nutball whenever the camera points his way. :-)

I do hope you can admire my handiwork with a broom from it though. I spent most of Saturday cleaning it out for the work starting tomorrow. We also went by today and made a dump run to get rid of most of the plywood scrap and some other stuff, still lots more to take away....
.
The guys from Bay Alarm should be there before 9 am tomorrow to start installing the alarm system. I need to be there to show them where stuff goes. As you can see, there is still wiring work to be finished, so our builder has some things to keep him busy as well.
.
The company doing the wiring for surround sound and satellite dish connections (and the central vacuum plumbing) seems to do great work - we have been happy with everything so far, I think. He is also going to wire for a HD antenna in the attic so we can pull in over-the-air HD stations/programming.
.
I think we are going to get our cabinets from Ben's Appliance as well - for what appear to be pretty similar cabinets (quality-wise), we are going to save somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-20k in cabinet costs vs. the other quote we had recieved. That will bring us right back into about where our budget is, which is very good.
