decisions -- 1

Gregg and I went up to see the house and pick out the color of metal siding that will be used on the upper story front. They have to order this siding from China, so they needed to know our color preferences early.

We met one of our new neighbors. Her house will not be ready as early as ours, but she was also picking out colors. We have to choose the metal siding (vertical lines) and then a pair of Kelly Moore colors from the list the builder supplied. We couldn't decide on the paint colors, but we have lots of choice with the pewter siding that we chose. They won't need to know the paint colors until much later.

Gregg and I agree that we would rather have them contact us each time there is a decision to be made, that way we know how things are progressing and it gives us an excuse to go back up there.

First steps

Well these are the first steps on our house and also my first steps as a blogger. Gregg took the first pictures of our lot and later of the boards outlining the foundation.



If it seems kind of anti-climatic or out of sequence to see pictures of our lot and then also see the advanced state of the model home, it does to us, too. We have already toured this model home several times. I suppose it will still be exciting when it is actually OUR house that reaches that stage, but we already know pretty much what it will look like.
