PAINT & POWER

Exterior Paint Palette & Temporary Power Update

After briefly considering going to a gray toned paint scheme for the exterior, I have decided to stick with a color scheme that is more representative of what I have been showing in the renderings. The actual selections are a slightly darker and less brownish than the computer image, with the windows, railings, porch trim, garage doors and gutters, soffits, downspouts and fascias going black instead of brown/bronze. I'm confident after looking at dozens of color options in both sunlight and overcast conditions that this particular combination will look especially nice and compliment the surrounding homes, so it will be neat to see the finished product. Below is a revised sample board showing the individual colors.
In other news, I realized today that Duke finally got around to hooking up the electric to the temporary power, which will let the subcontractors have a place to plug in their tools and equipment as they move forward with the framing this week. Here are a couple images of what that installation looks like.
