Wow nice flooring. Sorry I must have missed it is it hickory?

Yes - it's 6" wide hickory. I was a little nervous ordering this much flooring site unseen. With the exception of the shipping issues we are really happy with it.

Wow I would be happy with it also, looks great. I am thinking that might look great in our kitchen if we ever get to remodel it :)

The foundation was set to begin about now however all of the rain this spring has pushed our contractor back a couple of weeks. Looks like its going to be the 1st or 2nd week of June for the foundation work to begin. In the meantime I just picked up the pine T&G for the ceiling. It's 6" white pine that we plan to start staining now so that its finished when it goes up. We have two pallets of 16' and one pallet of 12' so that should give us plenty to work on for awhile. The T&G will go up anywhere there are timbers in the ceiling. The stick frame portion of the home will get sheet rock with the exception of a few areas that we may use some T&G for accents.

I've got Hickory cabinets. Hickory is a real nice match with the Hemlock timber frame. Some people don't like the look of the wood but I love wood with lots of features. I'm looking into using tigerwood for the decking.

We plan to use alder for the cabinets. Floor will be hickory so we want something a little different for the cabinets to break it up.
