I would want the 20 amp wires. You can always use 20 amp for 15 amp stuff, but not vice versa.

okay, back online with a moment to catch my breath. I hope to post a photo of where CG's cot will go, with enough room for Vit, CatPat and PF to move around in. No room for a kitchen island. The area from the kitchen sink to the fireplace is a dance floor
. I may have also posted a photo of the kitchen range that is in the process of being installed. When I asked when I can bake my chicken, I was told I must wait for the Certificate of Occupancy to be granted before I can use the range
. Lots of stuff going on at the house.
Thanks for all the kind comments and helpful suggestions, I really appreciate them. I haven't talked with the electrician yet but did get some details from my computer guy, who will get my computers set up at the new house.

ruh row on the guest house
of course a few glitches have developed...the door on the dishwasher is crinkled beyond use, but that would not have held up the granting of the Certificate of Occupancy....but the toilet will hold it up. First, the tank of the two piece toilet was broken and both pieces are the wrong color
. Not sure how that will play out.

It's all coming together beautifully. So July, August...we'll be wandering through New Mexico. I was looking at a job in Flagstaff, AZ...

Yeah, I'm pretty excited.
I just happen to have a few more photos.
It is difficult to photograph the innards of the shower, and the shower door has not been installed yet..
The interior doors are supposed to be hung tomorrow.
PF, pretty sure things will be settled by Fall

Beth I'm so glad to see the subway tiles for your kitchen back splash rather than the trendy little colorful glass tiles that are so popular now days. All that you have chosen for your beautiful home is timeless and with impeccable good taste.

That is correct. The cables can be used for either 20 or 15 amp circuits as the breaker dictates circuit capacity. There are exceptions.
I just find it unusual for a contractor to use a more expensive wiring method than he is required to use.
House is beautiful Beth. Love that shower enclosure!
Beth,
I just caught up on this thread. Your house is going to be gorgeous! You will be very happy and comfortable there.
And that kitchen looks like it will cook up lots of meals for all of your DC friends to come and share - I have dibs on a bar stool and am not afraid to use my cane to get it!

I forgot to ask the electrician, but an educated guess would be this is the reason for the 20 amp wire. I asked for a well built house.

The bar chairs came last week, 2 weeks early, and I am storing them in the pantry. Dibs have been registered on one of them
. Bathroom is (almost) finished. The toilet and kitchen sink fixtures have stand-ins until the proper ones are delivered.Attachments

Dibs on the shower. I won't peek.

We really are related - we just barge in, invite ourselves and take over the place!
Oh, and they are bar chairs - they have nice backs and cushy seats!
