Day 3

I wasn't really sure what a footer looked like or what it did but here is a before and after footer shot.

Before Footers.








After Footers.







Exciting stuff, right?  From what I understand not too much can happen while these are setting up which means we can move onto more exciting things like EXTERIOR COLORS!!

On the front of our house this consists of Siding, Shakes, Stone and Board and Batten.  B-n-B we are doing white so that choice is complete.  The Siding and Shakes we are going to get as close in color as we can to each other .  
Looks like we are going gray and here are our top two choices:

Option 1:    Slate 

I like the neutral tone of it.  This trim on this house is not a white, it is more cream so I think there would be more of a contrast with white trim which we would like.

Option 2:  Flagstone

This is Jeff's favorite.  In the first picture it doesn't appear to be quite as dark.  I think the garage picture is more accurate of the color.  (BTW - Love those garage doors!!)

We were also liking the the stone they chose with this house.  It brought in some warmer tones to take away the harshness of the gray.  It tied in nicely with the stained door.  

*Note for those looking to build:  The darker colors often have an up-charge.  The Flagstone while the same manufacturer and same line is slightly more expensive

 Stay tuned for tomorrow for the Wonderful World of Windows!!
