I am crazy about Craftsman houses and we could not be happier with ours. We love the red siding. I was nervous at first because it seems like such a bold choice but it is warm and inviting and says "Welcome" right when you drive up! Geothermal is a big investment for sure. We are happy with our system (we went with a closed loop). Thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment!! Please keep me updated on the progress of your house and if you have any questions about geo, or anything else, please feel free to contact me!

I found your post when I was searching hi...Chelsea,<br />I found your post when I was searching hi and low for a red house. I hope you don't mind but really got some great insight on your process from reading your building blog - and congratulations on the birth of Nolan Benjamin! We are at the other end of the age spectrum - newly empty nesters building our first home in the Ozarks countryside ("retired" this year after 31 years military) also embracing the craftsman look. Our trusses "flew" up yesterday and we just picked out our siding colors. Going with Hardie board in countrylane red with Khaki brown trim. A little worried it might be too bold and daring but what the heck! We are contemplating Geothermal but not sure it will actually pay off for us at our age and like you, we are fighting the budget. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I appreciate your honest blog account - it helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677561941412558665noreply@blogger.com
