Siding Snafu!
I pulled on to our street today and was SO excited to see the siding was done on the house. Our PM didn't make his weekly update with us so I had no idea this was done. The more I looked at it I thought boy this looks lighter than I thought and lighter than the house down the street that I like. The siding crew was at another house so we asked what color ours was and they said Stone Mountain Clay which is what we picked. So I drove to the model to ask why ours was a tad lighter then I thought it should be. Come to find out..the color I really wanted and saw on previous homes is called Khaki. Which was discontinued in June 2011. So I thought when I picked the darkest color out of the options (Stone Mountain Clay) I was getting the darkest that I kept seeing on homes already built. Obviously there is nothing we can do, but it still bothers me because I like the other color way better!!! I guess lesson learned, don't ASSUME anything!

That's a shame that your SR didn't make it clear that the colors had changed. We also liked the khaki siding. I know it's not the color that you thought you were getting, but it looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is starting to grow on me now. I like it too!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to chime in and tell you that I think the Stone Mountain Clay looks great, very classic. The black shutters and white trim really pop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina. I actually really like it now myself. Funny how that works out :-)
ReplyDeleteWe actually ended up choosing Stone Mountain Clay for our Venice - thanks to seeing how nice it looks on yours! Ours will have almond trim, so we'll see if it looks as good :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great Christina! Can't wait to see a pic!
