STUCCO :)

September 15 & 16 so far has been a 'colourful' couple days for us! Whoohoo! I thought that the tinted scratch coat that they started putting on yesterday might take a week to dry/cure before they could come back but apparently not...

We went with acrylic stucco in the end, for quality reasons and the bonus of that was being able to go back to our original colour scheme of OLIVE GREEN! We had picked out a 'slate' colour but since changing our plans, four houses in a row, across the street from us, have slate stucco... so we're happy not to conform! The shutters are black, the railings will be black and the garage doors have yet to be painted (probably the same 'sable' colour as the soffits - we are accepting opinions though)

PS: we got front stairs too but we're probably going to switch them up a bit - not 100% happy with the workmanship!

pavin' the road...

It's September 2nd (not the 'beginning of July' as originally quoted) and we're finally getting the roads paved! Now that they've done the three side/smaller roads, they will start on the main road, which will probably be at least another three weeks... if they're lucky, they'll get it in before it starts snowing!
