EXTERIOR PAINTED AND ROOF FINISHED NEW HOUSE UPDATE

OK, here it is!  What you've been waiting for:

The reveal of the exterior painting!

Behold!  This is the front.

It's not QUITE finished...keep in mind, all the wood details you see (the corbels, the wood above the windows, and the porch posts) will be painted white to match the house trim.  The porch railing will be also be white, but it goes on at the end to make it easier for workers in and out. The garage door will also be white.  Oh and there will be white shutters on each side of the windows on the front.

Walking around, another view of the front porch from the garage side.   Again, porch railing and the front door will be 8' feet tall and black with wavy glass.

Walking around to the back, this is the grilling and cooking porch and the back door into the garage.

Continuing along the back, you can see the future screened-in porch and where the screen door will be on the end.  The windows on the far left are the dining room and these two windows on the right side are the master bedroom.

Continuing on around, here is the other end of the house.  The window is the master bathroom shower.  Too bad this doesn't convey the height...that window is 7 feet off the ground.  It almost feels like a two story house on the end when yo stand there.  I guess there will lots of space to stand up in the attic, at least there!

Here is a closeup of the roof.  It's a premium shingle, mildly impact resistant (hail) and the color is black onyx.  We asked about black roofs and they said with the insulation, radiant barrier decking and the way homes are built these days, it's not a big deal to put on a darker roof.  So we went with the aesthetic look for the rest of the house.

We will put on our own gutters.  Well, I mean, we have to pick someone and they do it, the builder doesn't provide them.  So that's coming up at some point.

They only made one mistake; the interior of the screened in porch was painted the same exterior barn red color.  We want this to be the white we chose for the trim.  That way, from the interior, you will only see it as another extension of the interior rooms that will be also be white.  We don't have to decorate the inside around a barn red color that you can see from the living room, ha.  They'll be redoing that this week, we're just waiting on weather.

It all looks beautiful and exactly what we imagined and hoped for, dreams coming true! 

On the next post, we'll show the porch ceilings.
