Colors!

The cabinets aren't as dark as they show in the picture.


My room ...lilac with green ceiling.


Yellow sun room with green ceiling



Green laundry room




Blue bathroom with green ceiling





Dining room


The whole house is painted " bagel" with white ceilings and white trim...until you get to the " south wing". That's where all the color comes in. Troy told me this morning, with all those colors...it looks like a " Florida house"... then he laughed....lol. He knew what would get my goat!!! The pictures don't show the true colors but you can get an idea with them. They are so much prettier in person. The "bagel color " looks darker in the pictures. All the walls need another coat of paint. That will happen once they finish painting all the trim, white. They are suppose to be done painting by the end of the week...at least the inside. Tomorrow we are off to Huntsville to pick out our appliances and light fixtures. This is the end of the " picking out stuff". ...it's been fun! Troy told us today that next week he wants the AC turned on in the house so they can put down the wooden floors. The humidity needs to be controlled while they are laying the floors. So, the electrician will be coming and once the floors are down, the bath tub, toilets and sinks will be installed so the plumber can hook them all up. The tile guys were here today putting down the sub-flooring and they are coming back tomorrow to lay the tile and do the shower. Chuck thinks we could be moving in, in three more weeks. It's hard to believe huh? Troy had told us that he could put a house up in 3 1/2 months...if it didn't have a basement. Well, even with our basement, it's going to darn close to being 3 1/2 months. ...and I'd do it all again. It's been so much fun. I had heard of horror stories from people, building houses and they said they would never do it again. I looked forward to getting up each day to see who was coming,what was being delivered and what was going to get done. Nothing has really gone wrong. We had a few days where the rain held things off but that was no big deal. Everyone that has been involved has been just super nice and we feel like we have become friends with several of them....and that includes Troy. I told him that we were going to miss seeing him every day and that he was going to have to stop by once a month to see us. Nickie( Troy's wife) told me that Troy has had several houses that he dreaded doing but he has had a lot of fun building ours. I wonder if Chuck having a cooler full of beer for the guys, every Friday has anything to do with it. ..lol.
