Back On Track

I just got back from a meeting with our builder, and I am happy to say that things are back on track.  We got the roofline changed from an 8:12 to a 6:12 (the first number is the change in height, the second number is the horizontal distance it takes for that amount of elevation change) so the roof will be 25% lower.  We also got rid of the 5 ft garage overhang, and will have something like the picture at right put in over it instead.  I think this will add a nice detail to the front of the house. Without crossing over into log cabin territory, I think the more rough sawn, naturally stained fir we can use the better!
