More Decisions



Well, I chose the pattern for our basement bar countertop and for the bench in the laundry room. The darker one is the bar - the cabinets and wood portion of the bar will be oak (to match our pool table and current kitchen table which will become the card table for the basement when we move).

Foundation is Poured




The foundation is poured and has been waterproofed. I believe they are set to start framing next week. We do have an issue....our backyard is very low even with the 80+ loads of dirt that have already been dumped on the lot. We need a creative retaining wall or deck system, but I am sure they will figure something out.




Anyway, here are some photos from Friday, October 12.

Dining Room


We are considering a red dining room. Any thoughts or opinions?

Kitchen cabinets


I meet with the cabinet designer next Wednesday to design the layout of the kitchen cabinets, but the above picture is an example of the maple cabinets and color we have chosen.

Front Door


We have chosen the front door....very simple. It will be stained a very dark brown to match the exterior trim color we have chosen. The interior of the door will be stained to match our interior trim which is lighter.

Selections


We have made some selections for the new house already. We have chosen the brick color. It can be seen on the house above.

Update with pictures


They've dug the hole and started to prepare for pouring the foundation. No more exciting news to post, yet.
