Paperwork!

The plans are done, the builder is chosen (I think), and we have started the paperwork. Before we can go to permitting, we have to have approval from the architectural review board, which has prompted us to begin making some choices, choices I didn't see coming just yet. For instance, the ARB wants to know what color the screens will be on the back porch. And yes, screens only come in three colors. So I have to wonder, at one time did one of our neighbors cause a big bruhaha by spray painting their screen hot pink? So while I was racking my brain between black, charcoal and gray, I decided that we will need a hearty sense of humor as we continue on the journey.
