September 3: Paint and Power

 You know we're going to see the house more regularly since things are progressing so quickly; it's fun to see the changes.  Wednesday, we saw they had painted the entire inside of the house (save the garage) the flat white that comes with the house and will serve as a perfect primer when we paint.  

How do/will we pick paint colors for the house, you ask?!  We get swatches and put them up on the walls and look at the color in all the different types of lighting (full sun, windows closed, dark with the lights on, etc.) and if it looks good in all the lighting, we pick one.  We haven't hated our choices with this method and we have employed it about 6-7x.  :)  We tend to lean toward our favorites: blues, greens, and yellows.

They also buried the power lines and placed the meter reader on the house!  They are going to lock the door soon and then we'll have to go during business hours so we can get the key from the sales office. 

Next things to watch for: bricks, HVAC
