Sounds like a good choice in exterior. If your looking for gutters or have any questions on them PM me. The color Shell is a stock item for gutters the Sandalwood is a slightly off color to match but should be able to get real close. I would advise to make sure the roofers use proper Drip/D edge vs the ever so common siders edge which is worthless. Also might be worth checking into the hail/impact resistant shingles for an insurance discount; vinyl siding will cost slightly more for insurance as well.

You said you got Frigidaire Gallery appliances? That's pretty much exactly what we are looking for. They had a decent deal but we didn't want the side by side freezer/fridge. We want a bottom door style fridge. The one we want is more $$, but they wouldn't let us upgrade the fridge to a different one for that deal. So we're going to look elsewhere.

Yeah, Frigidaire Gallery in stainless steel from the location in St. Louis Park. We worked with a couple different people on different occasions and had no issues at all.

We were going to get the package of all new appliances but we were able to find scratch-and-dents with no obvious imperfections (we only noticed the imperfections after 4 weeks of owning them) for a only a slightly higher price; our dishwasher was the only new piece. That also meant we could upgrade to the French-Door fridge and double oven without hassle or useless upcharge.

Brandon, I know you've decided on plans already, but I stumbled across this online and figured it might be worth a look:

We have a dirt hole!

Also picked out a whole bunch of other stuff today. Carpet (the middle one), different carpet for the sunroom, Master Bath Tile, laminate counter tops for the kitchen, interior wall paint (light beige), we also switched the exterior paint to 1 shade darker beige. We are pretty excited!!

Apparently one neighbor came out yelling at the excavator about removing some of the trees they had to remove, saying he didn't want those removed. So our builder had to have a nice talk with the neighbor telling him sorry but it's not his lot, lol.

Anyone visit any of the parade of homes this weekend? I went to a few in Edina/Tonka/Plymouth to get some ideas. Always nice to visit some 1.8mill homes that I will never be able to afford.
