KentuckyFox Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I picked up my Craig's List find SF550 today. Too intimidated to even open the box right now. LOL. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Congrats! You'll be fine. Have fun!! Any thoughts or plans for colors or style yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentuckyFox Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks! I have to finish my first house (an Orchid - it still needs shingles and paint) before starting the San Fran. I'm tentatively planning on mint green with cream trim for the SF550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Sounds gorgeous. You might also think of cinnamon or nutmeg brown for accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentuckyFox Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Great idea, Holly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentuckyFox Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I promised myself I wouldn't open the San Fran box until I finished my Orchid, but I had to take a peek. The box has never been opened and has been in storage for 15 years - I felt like Howard Carter breaking the seal to King Tut's tomb. LOL.

havanaholly Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Nicki, it's a rule that you have to open the box to sniff and pet the wood and make friends with it so it'll start to chat with you and tell you what it wants & how it wants to look.

sparklepuppies Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Those colors sound lovely! And I do like Holly's suggestion too of a little brown. Can't wait to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentuckyFox Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Broke down and started working on the San Fran. Started putting the siding together, then took a break and looked through all the San Fran 550 threads here on the forum. Now I am terrified to continue. LOL.

havanaholly Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Nicki, if you or your DH have a carpenter's square, and a good craft knife, you'll do just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
