Construction Exterior

Flagstone

The porches are almost done. The flagstone is laid in a repeating random pattern and pointed.

John and I went to a wholesale stoneyard in Pennsylvania near the New York border to find the stone. We went up there looking for brown flagstone and the color of this stone is much better than we could find around here. We brought four pallets which should do the porches, walkway, and terraces. The price was great, about half the cost of flagstone available here.

Paint

The exterior has been painted. The doors, windows and other trim are painted the same color as the trim used on the other buildings. The stucco is painted a lighter shade than the trim. I'm still deciding if I like the lighter color...
