Actually, we've got a couple of cases of shingles... and now they're all up on the roof. These shots were taken 2 weeks ago (sorry, a bit late posting... again). The color is called: Burnt Sienna.

What Goes Around...
A number of weeks ago, I put up a post about how my father-in-law was able to finagle a free garage door opener for our new home. I am very pleased to report that I was finally able to repay this great deed!
I've also recently posted that my in-laws have purchased the house 2 doors down from us. Like ours, their new home is an inventory home, and there were no features that they were able to choose or modify. And also like our home, theirs was not being built with an automatic garage door opener.
Now my story can't be as good as Vito's (but then again, I still don't know how he did it), but I asked Sabrina, our friendly KB Sales lady, if Noel and I would get any kind of 'finders fee' for bringing her another customer.
And very politely she told us, "No."
With a big grin I respond, "Really? Nothing? Maybe we should take them else-where." Of course I was being facetious.
Sabrina smiles again and politely says, "Sorry."
I respond with, "Tell you what, in lieu of our finder's fee, why don't you just put an automatic garage door opener in their garage? We'll call it even." This was said in complete jest.
Sabrina smiles and says, "OK. I can do that."
True story.

Long Time No Blog
Sorry about this, but I guess I've been a week behind in posting.
Noel and I have been pretty busy at work lately, and we've been using our free time on the weekends to help out her parents. We've been assisting them with getting their house ready to be sold, by doing some of the heavy cleaning and light painting.
But in all that craziness we did get a chance to visit our home last weekend. I'll share those pics with you here:
(As you can see, we now have walls, roof and a small front porch!)
(Here in the laundry room, we'll have the access to the A/C unit. The duct work is already set in the house.)
(This is the bath in the 2nd bathroom. We'll have to keep it cleaner than this, though.)
(This is the pass thru "window" in the living room. You can see straight through to the front door! There will be an electric fireplace under the half wall. No we did not want the fireplace, but because it was an inventory home, we couldn't get rid of it.)
