House plans/roof/windows




Builder Dad met with Builder the other day to figure out the roof plan/materials, etc. They also discussed windows. Builder said that as soon as we have the roof plan, the shell will go up. He thinks it will take no time at all for that to happen (next week it will be done). So, Builder Dad and I went to Lowe's last night to see if we could find a particular window that we need/want. It must be 1X7, double pained, and galvanized aluminum. Apparently, nobody carries those. Vinyl is the way to go... although you can't paint vinyl and we need yellow frames for the front of the house. I think Builder Dad is going to tell Builder to just go and order some from KRDB or something. Will not be cheap, but we'll see!!--------------When Builder Dad drove by the lot today, he found someone had dumped some cabinet drawers on our dump pile. Thanks! You can see the master bedroom will have some shade in the afternoon too! Nice for napping!!

Also, if you notice the large McMansion in the first pic, we almost bought that lot (in auction) to put a modest little 1300 sq ft house on it. Now it's going to be a very large double family home or something... very ugly and not nice to the neighbors.
