Plywood sheathing is up, so now we have an idea of what the house will look like with the walls up. Our builder asked us to pick a house color, because siding will be up very soon and they'll be painting shortly after. Mark wants our house to be as "green" as possible, so we are going with a light colored house to reflect light and reduce heat gain. Read more to continue...
We wanted to try out a couple different light blues on the Hardie panel, with exception to the one on the far right, called "budding leaf." It was supposed to be more of a green but it turned out kind of yellow. We decided to go with a Behr paint color called "Igloo Blue." It's outlined in white below.

| Igloo blue is outlined. "Rain Dance" is to the right. We originally thought we'd like that color the most, but it turned out to be a little too gray. |

| Looking out of the future front door area. Mark is standing next to a peach tree. On the right is are several pomegranate trees We've heard that the pomegranates will grow okay, but Texas pomegranates don't taste very good. |
