Cabinets Ordered!

It has been a while, so I figured I'd post something to the zero people that read this thing. Through my searching through the ends of the internet, I have found what I think is the greatest deal in cabinets on the planet:

Their discounts are amazing. Since I wanted to do something with some quality, I read through and settled on going with the StarMark Cabinetry.

I searched locally, and there was 2 vendors in Maryland. Both didn't take me seriously in wanting to compare prices or actually show me much of anything. One of them told me, "Starmark is typically for our high-end customers, and I don't know that you would really be interested." Ha! I just wanted to look. :) The long and short of it is that I ended up getting all of our cabinets for the kitchen and 3 bathrooms, 35 cabinets in all, for $6,000 less than the 2 vendors could do the kitchen alone. I looked at some other companies/vendors - Lowe's was the closest, but with a much lower quality cabinet and finish. I ended up getting a Rustic Alder cabinet in a dark brown color with an ebony/black glaze with distressing. I'm really excited - our kitchen is coming together. With the hickory floors going in this week, and the crackled white ceilings finished, our home is starting to look 100+ years old! Exactly what I wanted!!!
I'm starting my wish list of stuff for after move in. I designed the house so we could add a cookstove later, and a wood burning furnace. I found the following:

I hope to get those within 5 years. I'm also investigating putting in a windmill or 2, and solar roof tiles to generate our own power. My goal is by 2011, we will be capable of being off the grid.
