We just had our home built and moved in. We'd gotten…

Wow Stacey. Your photos look amazing! Loving the monochrome theme and how it works all works very well together.

Looking good, Stacey.
Just curious - did you go with the no cornice finish? Did it cost a lot?

Whoa, sorry to hear that!
Do you know if it is was because the soil itself had a lot of movement or because there is an excessive amount of fill in…
