It's About Time

Time for an update, that is. Things have been pretty busy around here – in addition to making tons of house decisions, we celebrated Dave’s birthday. It included baseball, Mexican food, and lots of tequila!

But, seriously, we have been pretty busy with house decisions. The windows have been ordered, but only after I added 6 to the original plans. We ended up ordering Integrity windows from Marvin (supporting the Jedlickas!). They’ll be white on the outside (I won’t even tell you how hard of a decision that was) and wood on the inside. After much deliberation, we went with casement windows (the kind that crank out) and the prairie grille style.

(This photo shows double hung windows-we went with casement, but you can see the grille pattern.)

All of the doors on the back of the house (1 french door, 1 sliding patio door, and 2 standard doors) will be all glass with the same grille pattern.

The front door was the hardest decision of all (but the one I’m most excited about). There are literally millions of combinations you can choose from. We ended up ordering a Therma-tru door with lots of glass, 2 sidelites, and a transom. As an added bonus we can paint it any color we want – any suggestions? I’m not going to post a picture of the door – you’ll have to visit to see it!

We also chose a siding color and stone. Our siding will be a medium colored brown (the color is called wicker) and our stone has browns, yellows, reds, and some blues in it. It’s hard to describe (as you can imagine).

See? We’ve been busy. But our contractors have been busy as well! (Hint, Hint – Check back real soon).

In the meantime, you can enjoy Dave and Gnome enjoying a drink at our bar!
