Polls never lie.

I know many of you will be highly surprised by this, *insert sarcasm here*, but it looks like December will not be the month we break ground.

The good news is that our blueprints are done. The bad news is that it's going to take a full month to obtain permits and get the construction financing in order - and with the upcoming holidays, chances are this process will bleed into January. *sigh*

But, our builder supposedly has a construction timeline put together that says that, barring any extended cold spells, he should be able to complete our house in 5 months, 1 week. The precision of this number is somewhat puzzling, but I'm going to run with it. So, theoretically speaking, a July close is still feasible (if somewhat unlikely).

Now to the fun part. As I mentioned in a previous post, our builder commissioned an artist to do a color rendering of our house for marketing purposes. She chose a slightly different color from the pale yellow that Jeff and I had been considering. And when I say slightly, I mean it's totally different.

Jeff loves it. He wants to marry it. My builder loves it. My mom loves it. I'm just not sure if I love it. It's so different from what we had been considering.

So without further adieu, here it is. Please note that the scan picked up the red a little differently - it's technically a rust red as opposed to the truer red in this pic:


So, what do you think? I'll post a new poll so I can document your responses quantitatively (because that's how I roll).

what colors are the other houses by you? will the red stand out or blend in?

The house to our left is a very vivid grayish blue, the one next to that is brown. The one across the street is a pale green... I don't think it'll clash with anything per se, but it will definitely stand out.
