Default Paint

Our Sanibel cottage has Hayseed which might as well be white. I painted the mail box post here in Tennessee this weekend which reminded me HOW MUCH I HATE TO PAINT When we build in Fernandina it may stay hayseed for a long time
Thanks for the info.

I will warn ya A-4...the builder will paint your interior any color you desire but there is an additional charge for any colors other than white or hayseed. The explanation we received was that additional colors require taping off, etc. We went with the hayseed which I thought had a nice, neutral color. We're going to hire someone to paint the two accent walls in the additional seating area (former nook) or I will do it when I'm back on my feet. At any rate, it shouldn't be too expensive. For everything else I'm like you, it'll remain hayseed. The outside color shouldn't be a prob for you. The had lots of exterior colors to choose from but there is also a caveat here. They won't allow the same exterior colors next to each other. I think there has to be at least a 1 or 2 lot separation. So, if you're the first to build you can have anything you want. If you're building where homes already exist you can have anything as long as your color isn't taken by someone within 1-2 lots of you.

Reading here there are several painters that can be hired at fair rates, so worry about it later.

You betcha! Hayseed it is for the time being... I should be able to paint some accent walls myself. Just did so in Boynton, so i'll perhaps start with the 3rd bedroom here? See how that pans out!!!! I understand though... It would take years for people to pick colors, and then would it all match up if not mixed at the same time? I'm sure they don't want the confusion or liability! Or complaints when the color isn't "just right".

I hope you are saving one for me in Dec! You can stick it in my outdoor fridge for safekeeping! My build starts Monday!!!
WV- how exciting! Four more days to close!! Bet you can't wait now to see the final product. I think we are beginning to fill the streets a little bit as I know there is another build scheduled just a few days after mine and another after that! And so it begins!
Be sure to send us a picture of your new home so we all have something to enjoy and look forward to!

173 posts and 8209 views later . . . we've all been watching your thread which has led up to your closing on the 27th. Thanks for the pictures and advise. I assume you're going to give us another round of PICs so we can see the finish product.

Thanks everyone! I was looking at the actual number of posts and views to this thread and I think we've set a record. I've not seen another one that has been this popular or successful! What a neighborhood we're gonna have! Finished pictures will absolutely forthcoming. HotRod...I promise pics of your start on Monday! We can't wait for all of y'all to get down here!
