The House

HOLY COW...TWO posts in ONE day.

Don't get used to it! ;)

I realized I never posted a picture of the house. Granted, this is an artist's rendition...we don't have mountains behind our house, nor do we have snow. In fact, I'll be surprised if we ever have as much snow as in this drawing (or that we got this year)!

We are still working on the colors...we will have a metal roof and we are thinking brownish/tan house with a greenish roof...or maybe gray house with a green roof...or something along those lines. Hard to say. I know it's a farm house but we don't want it to be white.  Besides, there is a red barn not far from the house.

We won't have a chimney either. We went back and forth on this one. We will have a gas fireplace, so there is no need for a chimney...but then we thought it would look so much better with one. We decided to have the builder frame one and put stone on it. Then, the more we looked at it, the more we realized that the way the house will be oriented, no one will see the chimney anyway, (unless they walk around the house to look for it) so why bother with the added expense?!
