Yesterday the kids and I met Eric downtown for lunch, and since we were in the area we decided to swing by the house (oooh weee can't wait until we live closer to Eric's office!).
We were greeted with a happy surprise- most of the siding and trim is complete!
The shingles in the gable are a little different than what we expected, but we think it will all look great once it is painted. We are still trying to decide if those shingles should be a different color than the rest of the house. Here's a picture of a house with our paint color (Sherwin Williams Rare Gray- the second line from the top in the paint samples above). If we were to do a darker color in the gable we would probably do the same green as the one below:
We think this house looks great, so time will tell if we copy it exactly! Note: the trim on our house is pure white instead of cream.
In other news, our builder decided to remove/replace all of the drywall in the house- sweet! When the drywall was removed in the dining room, look what we discovered behind it- the old spot for an original window! It was covered up when the master bedroom addition was done who knows how many years ago. I think it is so cool to discover little things like this :) Now that all of the ceiling and drywall is removed I think this is the last little surprise we'll find, but I guess you never know!
