A visit to the Parade site this week revealed a lot of exciting interior work shaping up. Here’s just a sampling of the light fixtures that have been installed in the Gossing, Coppertree and Kevin Knight houses.

The Electrical Walk-Through

When Chris and Cindy Nelson decided to purchase the 2009 Parade home being built by Compass Homes (which also happens to be the Foundation House, but more on that later), they entered the game early enough to make a lot of  decisions. Anybody who’s gone through the process of building a custom home realizes what all these decisions are – there are a lot of them. A small sampling: lighting, plumbing fixtures, exterior trim colors and materials, wall colors, carpet colors, appliance colors… the list goes on.

A recent visit found the Nelsons doing the electrical walk-through with the folks from Compass Homes. The 3 or 4 hour task has been trimmed down to a 5-minute glimpse of all the minute decisions that are made before any wires are run or drywall is put in place.

It’s a busy time for the Nelsons…

Illuminating the Parade

With approximately 50 fixtures to select, the folks at Capital Lighting have their work cut out for them. And so does Sarah.
