- Siding and shakes are now done. Although we are going to have the siding guy go back and put shakes in the front porch peak. It just looks too plain with just the siding.
- Drywall has been delivered, put up, and mudding & taping is well underway. Texturing of the walls I think will start today
- We somehow managed to pick out carpeting, including some commercial-grade stuff for the exercise room
- Finally done picking out paint colors. Here are the Sherwin Williams codes if anyone is interested in checking them out:
- Upstairs great room/foyer/stairway is Cork Wedge #7539
- Kitchen/dining/pantry/hallway Cupola Yellow #7692
- Master bedroom Dormer Brown #7521
- Master bath/kids rooms/kids bath/mud room/laundry/powder/Bar/Garage is Natural Tan #7567
- Complete downstairs (minus bar) is Colony Bluff #7723
- all ceilings are Ibis White #7000
- All 4 garage doors are now on.
- Andy and I spent some time cleaning up some outside debris while we still had access to the large dumpster. Mostly old culvert pieces left when the first builder built up the driveway last fall.
- The first snow came, and the kids (and dad) got to play a bit out at the site. Hopefully can get our tractor out there soon for plowing in case we get a lot more snow. Locks should be installed soon, and painting will be done in 2-3 weeks -- then we can park the tractor in the garage.
