Appliance Details

I'll try to keep this short with as much value as possible.

When preparing for your 14 day, get a list of the appliances from your SR. It will show you color, level names, model number, and Ryan code. Don't wait till your 14 day to have to make a quick decision. You'll be cooking a lot so it is an important decision. If you don't cook, and just use the oven to store your shoes (like my wife when she was single), just get the cheapest option. Nothing to see here.

Appliance options change, but this was the current list when we went through it (Appliance Packages 2012).  This is only the standalone ranges, since the separate option was quite a bit more expensive and we ruled it out.

The Latest on Ryan and Timberlake Cabinets

Before I purchase anything, I research. A lot. That trend continued for this house, options, and cabinets.  For the cabinets, I checked into model homes, what Ryan offered, and details from the manufacturer, Timberlake Cabinets.

The first and most essential step in starting the research process is to get any and all information from your Sales Representative. They will often have a "Out of Town" packet of information. Get everything emailed or shared on Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar services. You can save them a lot of emailing trouble with the Dropbox method.

Returning to cabinets, the first document I looked at was the Kitchen and Bath selling sheets for the cabinets. The first tier was eliminated immediately due to color. I'm sure they do this to up-sell you to the higher tiers.  That left the second and third rows seen below.
