It's Official!!!
Today we signed the papers to begin the swimming pool construction. I'll be sure to update with pictures often, so for now let's everyone wish for lots of sunshine and dry weather. They will start excavation as soon as it's dry enough not to tear up the rest of the yard. For those of you who just can't wait for the details, here's the specs:
18'x36' in ground, rectangle, vinyl liner pool (I know, I hate vinyl, but gunite bids came in at nearly 1/3 the cost of our house!)
Liner will be a dark blue/black to look like a lagoon
cantilever concrete deck - either colored or textured
diving board
variable speed pump which saves 30%-90% energy over a standard pump
DE filter which allows for water savings - no backwashing of filter required
LED color changing underwater light
and a Mineral Purification System called Smart Green - which means no burning eyes from chlorine!
Check back soon for links to all of these eco-pool options!

Tours, Tours, and MORE Tours . . .
These are some busy times here at the Nutter Green Home. Before Spring Break, we had a few client tours on the same day, and today we have two educational tours scheduled. This morning, we had an Interior Design class from the College of Mt. St. Joseph and some members of the Batavia Greens and Beans garden club. This afternoon, we'll be hosting the Boyer Guild Architectural group and possibly more members of the Greens and Beans club. This morning we had about 20 people, and this afternoon we should have around 10-15. Here are more interior shots:
We have been working on the exterior landscaping and vegetable garden. I'll get some photos posted as soon as I can. We've also started the interior trim, so we are hoping to be able to add a lot more update photos soon. I've also started a bit of consulting, so I'm working on a kitchen remodel and some general consulting every now and then. I'm keeping way too busy, and of course don't forget about the big Earth Day Festival that is going to be held at our house on Wednesday - April 22nd. We have about 80 kids coming to participate! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun photos to post this coming week of that as well, so check back soon!
