We're really doing it. We're building a house! This will be a place to keep track of our progress and all the ups and downs that come with building a house.

A trip to the Building Supply store

We took a trip into town today and stopped by our local building supply company, Franklin Building Supply in Burley.  We wanted to just look around at A LOT of things (siding, flooring, tile, lights, paint, etc.).  What a great experience!  We first met Doug who was more than happy to help us with siding choices (I think we've decided on paintable Hardie Plank or Masonite instead of vinyl) and hardwood flooring options.  It is so nice to go into a store and have someone knowledgeable help you and make you feel like they've got all day to spend with you.  You just don't get that with a big box store, you know?  After an hour + with Greg we headed over to the paint section where we met another helpful gentlemen. This is a man who knows his paint!  He told us all that we would ever possibly want to know about paint. I bought this paint fan deck and I am currently obsessing over what color to paint all our rooms....even though we are no. where. close. to being to that point yet.  :)  I'm definitely going with Revere Pewter (tannish-gray on left of light switch) for the majority of the house.  It is one of Benjamin Moore's most popular colors and I've seen it all over the web.  The dark blue is for our master bedroom.  The kids room is another story....
