Color Doubts

The men completed texturizing the walls they look very neat and ready for paint. However, we still struggle with paint color. We know what we like, but are not confident with our choices.

The builder has noticed my many containers of Sherwin Williams paint samples around and offered a suggestion today. He suggested an interior designer to help us nail down our colors. We agreed, he contacted the designer he knows who can meet with us next week. Whew! No more struggling with paint color.

Steve installed the last screen on the porch. Tomorrow he works on the inside redwood paneling. This paneling will cover the little bit of exposed plywood under the screened openings. It will not cover any of the rock on the porch.

Tomorrow we drive to Dallas to pick out the exact pieces of granite for the bath and kitchen counter tops. Every piece of granite is different and the granite shop recommend we make our selections from their supplier in Dallas. This will be a whirl-wind one day trip, ten hours.

Stilts, Screens and Samples

Elizabeth saw the mud-men working on their stilts in the garage when she ran out the back door of the screened porch urgently motioning me to hurry into the garage area and get their picture. They are graceful walking on those things while working over their heads smearing plaster. We were told by the builder today their work on the house would be completed Monday.

Steve started applying the screen to the back porch today. He suggested finishing the inside of the porch with redwood which will look really nice.

We had a nice afternoon at the house with Paul's parents looking through the many paint samples we picked up in town this week. Rita is a well known landscape artist and her talents with color were the greatest of help. We have struggled over our paint choices, but with Rita's help we narrowed down our selections today. An old friend of Dan's, Ed Harris, drove by the house today checking on our progress. They had a nice visit catching up on all the local news.
