We've had a really great week. The contractor passed the building inspection on Wednesday. This was needed before they could start insulation. We were happy to see the load of insulation delivered Wednesday afternoon and they're well under way. Also, our windows came in yesterday (they were supposed to be delivered Monday), and the guys were all there this morning to start installation. 39 windows total, which is crazy! Even more crazy is that they're estimating they'll all be installed within 7-10 days. Sheet rock comes after the insulation. Weird that we need another 'insulation' inspection before they can start sheet rocking though. Then after sheet rock is in, they do a 'sheet rock nail' inspection. No wonder the city is broke! I joked with our contractor that he doesn't even have the sheet rock nailing clearance yet! I guess that give us assurance that everything is being done correctly. We also have some paint samples up on the exterior. The painting guys are really moving. They've got most of the outside sanded and primed. They used a filler type substance on the window trim and a lot of cracks that we thought we'd have to replace. Also, there's some decorative trim on the front of the house along the roof line. We thought we'd have to replace that, but they're really sanding it down and bringing the beauty back! Here's the gray house again.. now picture some door and trim colors!
Maroon is the obvious choice, which looks great, but I'd love to get a little more creative. Our windows are white and we're going to do a dark gray trim, but the decorative trim and door can be different. I really like the idea of a mustard color, which is a classic color combo with gray, but I haven't seen it on houses very much. Guess I need to get some samples! I really like these combos, although Jimmy hates yellow. Thankfully this is mustard!
Or gray and green?
or orange?
Remember, this is SF and we can be a little crazy! I'm thankful for that!
Goal of the weekend: buy tubs and tile.
Mental note: I should have been looking at tile this whole time. Oops. Not paint colors!
TGIF! xoxo
