Framing - DAY 2 with a perplexing Milan Observation.

Lookin' Good!  I didn't even notice that the bricks were delivered until I check out the photo when I got home.  They look so dark!  I'm so worried that I won't like them.  I think my home will look very masculine because of the color but the only thing I liked better was the stone and that was out of our budget for now.

Front view.  You can see why I have few photos today.......it was raining. :(  I hope this doesn't affect the house too much.

It doesn't show too much here but you can see the Autumn Pink Beige of my neighbors house.  My house is just behind it.  The back yard looks pretty small from this angle but so does the house.  Our lot goes down over that hill too.  We are trying to figure out how we can do our shed.  I guess up on stilts like the one you see up on the hill....except I know Dustin....he will want a BIG shed.

And here is the Milan Elevation L?  I think it looks pretty cool.  I'm pretty sure that's what it is.  They added the shutters and I noticed something "interesting".  I think this belongs to, my soon to be neighbor, Amber.  I hope she reads this and catches it too.  I put a close up below.....Can you all see it?   Here's a hint:   Look for the hinges............

So...do you see it?  Look closely.  See those handles on the INSIDE part of the shutter and the hinges on the outside?  Last time I checked shutters don't work this way.  Now I know these are fake....but still.  Hinges on the outside?  Come on.
And...an even closer look.   What do you think?  The handles are what caught my eye.  I was trying to figure out what they heck they were and then I saw the hinges and realized what had been done.  ALL of them were put up that way.  That sucks.....if it were me I would definitely make a fuss. Perhaps I'm wrong and making myself look insane..I don't think so.

  1. I don't think I would have even noticed if you didn't point it out. I'm not a fan, especially since the shutter are fake.

  3. It's not Ambers house... It's my house! Andrea and Jeff and I noticed the shutters too. It's on my list for Mike. And yes it's an elevation L! Hope to meet you soon.

  4. Hi Andrea! Nice to meet you. Sorry...I thought it was a girl named Amber....mayber it was Andrea. My memory is horrible these days! I'm so glad you caught it. I told the SR so that maybe she could have it fixed before you saw it but oh well! I hope to meet you too. I'm jealous of your stone. :)

  5. Friends of mine showed me your blog since they are building a Venice in Timber Run and are following your building process. As soon as I saw the photo from outside of your front door, I knew I was looking at our new build. What a small world huh? Yep, there were a couple of things that we've caught and put on a list for Mike. I kept telling my boyfriend about the shutters so when I saw that YOU noticed too, I said, "Told you that it wasn't correct!". LOL. Sometimes it takes others to point out the same thing! The SR that is there now isn't really our SR. Rhea moved to Gibsonia just after we signed, so it's hard for her to keep up with us...but she does try! Jeff and I will need to stop by to see the progress on your home next time we are up there. I'm sure you will love your brick once you see it on the house. Thanks for keeping an eye out!
