Random House Update

We FINALLY received the permit from our perk test. We've decided on the person who will push our driveway, (and what a long driveway it will be), clear and level our land as well as dig our basement. Now before he begins, we will apply for a construction loan (cross your fingers) and hopefully have a pulp wooder set up and take the trees. We figure we won't get much from them but every dollar counts right? Trouble is, its only three acers and it is really hard to find someone to come out for this amount. So if you know a guy, we take suggestions. :)

I realized the other day I have showed you the "rough draft" of the floor plans but no exterior pictures.

We hope it will look similar to this......

Our contractor will have to do some "edits" to the plans but he assures us it will at least resemble this one. Of coarse their are lots of options......

Ours will probably look completely different than any of these. Justin is in charge of the siding and etc. He seems to be leaning towards vinyl siding on the main part, stacked rock on the gables and shaker siding in the eves. We've heard all these great things about concrete board but the thought of re-painting every five to ten years is horrifying to us.

 I LOVE the stacked rock but depending on the budget it may end up being brick, we'll see. Oh and you can take away all of the fancy landscaping (that will come later). Also we will be trashing all of the half moon windows. Have you priced those lately? Wow, who needs em?
