Trying to organize things from miles away

Today we had emails from a variety of people we are trying to coordinate.  There is the geothermal guy, the foundation guy, the help-Len-build-it guy,  the engineer, the roofer, the cement pourer, the building inspector, the septic guy and I am forgetting some I am sure.  We are here in Winfield, just north of Kelowna and our property is 4 hours by road, (1+ hour by RV10 airplane) away.   It is a challenge.

We are having the house packaged by Tamlin Homes in Langley.  Yesterday we decided on the colour of the hardiboard siding and cedar trim.    Don't ask me to describe what sagebrush and dusty green look like. It got to the point of saying, sure, whatever.  Green and green.  Should be fine.  Len wants the house to blend into the scenery.  This should do it.  Except that our green structure will not look much like a tree and will not "blend" as it sits atop our slope.

Have decided upon (and bought) interior doors, door handles, a few lights and the kitchen sink (Kohler cast iron, white, very funky).  Everything else is yet to be decided and bought.
