We selected PPG Porter Paint for the interior of the house. The majority of the house will be in Austrian Ice. The scan makes it look a bit blue, but it is just a touch blue. We think it complements the exterior nicely.

Walls

In the dining room and in the office, we plan to accent below the chair rail with American Anthem. To me (Jyll), it looks like a close match to our siding.

Accent

All of the bathrooms have the same cultured marble vanity tops. We selected Golden Mushroom for the walls. It compliments the vanity tops quite nicely.

The siding is going up very quickly! Tony is working on getting the porches started.

It has been a while since the last post because I (John) have been very busy at the hose working on the mechanical installations and doing all of those little odds and ends jobs that pile up. The HVAC system is being roughed-in – and the Geothermal systems are sitting in storage and will be installed once we are ready. I have almost completed running the PEX plumbing supply lines. The cool July weather has been a disadvantage that working the twists and turns out of the tubing would have been easier on a hot day. The electrician should be back from vacation shortly and the electrical install will be completed. I will post pictures of the mechanicals after they are completed.

Things are progressing quite nicely. The siding process started earlier this week. These pictures are from Tuesday.
