This month saw progress made in a handful of areas and once again we went shopping for flooring again. We actually went to take another look at the flooring we previously liked only to find out that they no longer make it anymore. So for half of a day we pulled down all the flooring samples that we could in the hardwood floor store, sorting and making piles, and eliminating them down to a new choice. It felt like we made a mess of the store but the owner was very helpful once again. We keep trying to get a flooring that's wide plank and has the look of a nice brown american walnut but with better durability (since we have a Boxer (dog)). Maple seems to be the closest..
We also decided to take on an interior designer for our mater bathroom and bedroom finishes. So we're looking forward to seeing how that goes after interviewing a few different ones and having never used an interior designer before. We like her personality and after reviewing her portfolio decided to give her a shot. She is going to charge us $2500 to help us design both rooms. More next month!
Worked on this month roughly in order:
Exterior siding - finish front gable roof areas w/venting
Drywall texturing
Downstairs Furnace & ducting
Rear Pergola Started
Some meetings along the way..
Drywall texturing - My builder asked what style I wanted and recommended old world medium. We went ahead with his recommendation.
