House update, some progress

[Dirtyhip]

So, the forms for the concrete footers are ready.  It snowed last night.  They have covers on the work zone, as it waits for concrete to be poured into the lovely lumber channels. Next step, Stem walls. 

Hubby has been running the backhoe around. He has moved a ton of dirt. We have plenty of it to be relocated.  He still needs to move a whole bunch.  

That is about all the progress.

Oh, I picked out a stove.  https://www.donsappliances.com/product/bertazzoni-master-series-30-stainless-steel-free-standing-dual-fuel-range-mast305dfmxe-159921

I am sure that @bikeman564™ will be pleased with the choice.

Also, I picked backsplash tile

Bright white cabs and a marble looking Quartz will be my counter. Floor that waterproof vinyl stuff.  Easy, durable.  Yes, please. We got commercial quality and it will be a warm wood color.  Walls, this Chantilly lace color https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/oc-65/chantilly-lace?color=OC-65

Still considering exterior color for the home.  I am leaning to a straw color.  Hubby wants bright white.

Is the dirt going to be used for a pump track?

I'm with you on the color. White gets dirty fast plus is shows the green mold on the north side easily.

How exciting 

[Airehead]

I have been wondering. So many decisions.  You will love the no mess floor. You can get a puppy.

I like the back splash tile.

Congrats on the progress, but

Get mold green siding and you will never have to clean it.

I have little sense of what works with colors, being partly red-green color blind, so I let my sister pick it out. I'm getting "Oxford Blue," a light blue, with white trim and speckled dark gray shingles on the roof.  She - and the contractor's design coordinator - both said white gets dirty-looking faster.

We got straight siding, not the "Dutch" style (below) with the bend in each piece - it tends to collect dirt faster on the slight ledge.

I'd go with stone and glass, no need to worry about mold, it will look nice on the stone.

That sure looks like a place in Europe.  The flower boxes up on balcony is a style common there..
