4166. arkymalarky - 4/21/2008 10:31:59 PM I think I saw our first hummingbird a couple of weeks ago. We need to put up feeders. Things have been blooming around here better than I remember them blooming for years.
4167. arkymalarky - 4/21/2008 10:34:12 PM We are also running the kitchen counter top deeper into the kitchen window area which also juts out so that the counter top becomes the sill.
That sounds really neat. 4168. magoseph - 4/22/2008 8:12:40 PM The robins are here, the robins are here! 4169. thoughtful - 4/26/2008 1:01:19 PM What do you do when you hit ledge?

4172. thoughtful - 4/26/2008 1:04:08 PM Note the mountain of material these machines are sitting on...they've had to extend the silt fence all the way to the barn. Yow! 4173. wonkers2 - 4/26/2008 1:11:00 PM Moving dirt and rocks around ain't cheap. 4174. thoughtful - 4/27/2008 3:18:07 PM Ain't nothin' cheap about this house, wonks! Just as my wallet!

 4177. thoughtful - 4/27/2008 3:25:00 PM So we're over there practicing onanism...spreading the no-mow grass seed around the pond in the hopes that some of it will take, and the next thing we know, a whole passel of vehicles pull up...ken, joe and 2 trucks with wood planks and portugese guys...they're framing for the footings already!! Wahoo!
 4178. thoughtful - 4/27/2008 3:27:21 PM Oops..that was supposed to be "Just ask my wallet!" 4179. judithathome - 5/3/2008 8:12:26 PM Thoughtful, read this article...it's really interesting and worth the price (free) of subscribing if you can't get into the site.

Home Green Home 4180. thoughtful - 5/5/2008 6:35:18 PM Very interesting...thanks Juds! 4181. thoughtful - 5/6/2008 2:30:28 PM Met with architect this am and got a color scheme for the house...it is wonderful. The front will be part stone in beiges and taupes so we're going with a taupe colored siding a dark brown roof and an off white trim. Garage and front doors will be left a natural wood tone. It's just what I wanted...very classic traditional colors that will be appropriate forever. At first he started adding some spring green trim. Ack! Too trendy. This is warm, cozy and inviting...just what I wanted the house to be.
He spent a lot of time coloring it and then had color copies made, but the color rendition of the copies is too dark. Any one have any suggestions on how to get better color rendition?
4182. judithathome - 5/6/2008 5:06:22 PM No, but I'm certain it's lovely and sounds like it will look good with the surrounding property.
I think the only "spring green" you need with this house is that which Mother Nature will provide....in the spring. 4183. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:48:51 PM Footings are framed.
