We Have Walls!

The walls are in! The drywall is completed and the painting and ceilings will be done next. Most of the house will be a "Wool Skein" color (beige-ish/light khaki...I'm not a fan of the word beige, but it is in that family). The master bedroom and bathroom will be a cool blue called "Take Five". It's a light gray-blue. The wood ceiling, beam and post will all be stained "Burnished Walnut." The colors are coming together and it feels like a house...like, well, a dream come blue!

Frozen Assets

We are having below normal winter temperatures this week, and here are some pictures to prove it! (Poor ducks!)



Here is the latest picture of the house with some snow. More of the hardi-plank is up and some is already painted. Hopefully that will be wrapped up in the next week or two so they can turn their attention to start insulation and drywall!
