Dave, I really like the style/design of the house. It reminds me of the style of the house I grew up in in S.E. Portland, Oregon (no, I don't know Tanya Harding )

What neck of the woods is your new home?

[david_h]

I live just south of Salt Lake City. . Murray UT be exact. Thanks for the interest. I am having a little heartburn this morning tho because the siding is up and they forgot the window trim. .Geez. . .you try to leave town for a few days for Basecamp . . . so I am trying to get my contractor on the phone.

Well, My contractor said. . "oops!" so they will fix it. Good. I am so tired of losing sleep over this. My wife / my client said to me last night

"I am not just excited to move into this house because you designed it. I am not just excited to spend our first holiday season in the new house. I am just excited to have this done because I am sick of worrying about this and that and every little detail. It's exhausting."

Hear. Hear.

[david_h]

As of this morning. . .Siding and flooring. They need to go back and put trim around the windows, but it's going to be great!

Slate. . .it's my wife's call. She loves slate and only wants to wet mop to clean.

[d12dozr]

Lookin' good, David!

[dermotcoll]

Looking sweet David - soon getting to the expensive part - finishing and furnishing!!

[david_h]

Thanks guys. You ain't just a woofin' there. The finish guy on the job is very very good. He's also very very expensive. We've been beating people up pretty good on their prices because of the economy and their need for work, etc etc, but as I have said before. I have 1 chance to do this right and there is very little I am willing to compromise on as far as design and craftsmanship. . seeing as this is a CRAFTSMAN Style home.

So. . .it will be beautiful, wonderful. I'll live in 3 days and then have to put it up for sale cuz I can't afford to live in it.
