A second bid for the cabinets (kitchen, baths, etc) arrives, from a local cabinet-builder. I am feeling pressure to choose—between this one and a large national firm.  Caleb wants to install the cabinets in February, and the lead time is eight weeks.  A word of counsel comes in from Sean, who emphasizes picking a cabinetmaker who can maximize our LEED points.  At issue is conventional plywood, which emits formaldehyde, vs “Purebond” plywood, which does not.  Actually, that is a no-brainer.  Our house will be so tight that we cannot afford much off-gassing of formaldehyde.
