Did a lot of cleaning with the skid steer yesterday. Grab all the leftover rock and stacked it for retaining walls. Gotta Landscape Architect coming next week to draw my design. Peace

 
Exterior is getting painted now. Hope I've picked the right colors. Too dark....too light? guess what? It's just paint. Peace

 
Doors black. Trim DARK Gray. Lighter Gray on the wood. All The colors are in the Rock Ledge. Exterior colors have been picked. Hope it turns out nice. Peace

Red Door: In America a red front door holds the historical significance of meaning people are welcome at the homes that host a painted door. Travellers were welcome to rest and have a meal, and during the Civil War in the Underground Railroad, runaway slaves would also see a red door as a sign of a safe house.

Black Door: In front door symbology, black is synonymous with authority, power, and strength. A person owning a black door communicates that the home is a serious place and that they're a person of substance and sophistication

Black Door explains the Wife very well. I'll paint the Dog House Door RED. Peace

 
Haven't had any people at the house lately. Disappointing. Peace

Even my builder is extremely frustrated. And trying to get lights is frustrating. The excitement is starting to wear off. It was once an exciting thing this building a Dream Home thing. Now it's a job! Peace
