so, i had the great idea on how to pick our siding color. instead of being like normal ppl and pick from the swatch. we would drive around the area WITH the swatch and pick the houses with siding we like. then i would run up to the house and check the color of the siding against the color of the swatch. after ruling out our most fav colors-they were way out of the budget. we chose siding in the med price range. we chose "storm"
we actually looked at the second house. we didn't love they lay out. the garage took up 1/2 the living space in the basement. we would have a house smaller than the one we have now. the first house pictured is close to the house we are building. just add a loft over the garage. but no veranda in the front. boo. i wanted that.
nathaniel said a big yes to the color!ok. siding is now picked. we have not chosen the roof yet. we are thinking a dark color.
minor changes
chris and i both feel that we should not store our stuff here in memramcook while we wait for the house to finish. we both got that gut feeling yesterday. we contacted the new home owners and broke the 'deal' off. we are going to store our stuff in storage.
we are also staying at jon and jess's duplex until nov. our house is suppose to be ready for oct 10. they say it will be ready by the end of sept. again, we felt that we should stay at jon's until nov. why? not sure. but we both choose to listen to that soft voice.
we are playing with this idea- if the house is ready in sept, chris will go and finish the loft while i stay at jon's. that way we can move in nov 1st and the loft is finished. not that i don't love living in the house of reno's!
i am having flash backs of 3 yrs ago. no place to live. ha.
