So I drove by the house the other day and noticed a white band being placed mid-way up on the side of the house. I thought this was an error but turns out it was on our plans- I just hadn't read the plans correctly. At any rate...as I looked at it, I grew to hate it with the passion of 50 million suns. If that is possible. Ok, well maybe one sun. Or just a fire-y bonfire. I consulted my house-building buddies. I consulted my daughter. I consulted my husband (turns out this is the ONE thing he DID have an opinion on ...and he LIKED it. No matter. I still hated it with before-mentioned intensity. My builder kindly removed it for me. ...well, arranged for it to be done from his vacation spot. Felt bad for interrupting that...think I will need to take a treat out to the workers and my builder upon his return from vacation as penance. But I am happy (after viewing tons of pictures on houzz.com of houses with similar bands) that the offending white band is indeed gone.
And now it's over, I wonder...perhaps with others who've built homes as well, was it really worth getting all freaked out over a single white band of siding.
Alls well that ends well, I suppose. Or maybe the next, will simply observe, proceed to glass of wine, then calmly select course of action:) ...and not frantic call to builder mid-vaca:) ...however, in own defense....it was 102 out. and was thinking of workers not having to re-do as much work. But yes, treat to site in order.
UPDATE: After much thought about what would be tasty in hot weather- opted to take the siding guy bakery chocolate chip cookies. Figured if they melted a little would be closer to fresh baked:) He seemed to like them. I hoped it would feel less annoying to take down those few boards and replace.
