Changes & Upgrades

I thought some of you may be curious about changes and upgrades we made to the home.  With Wayne Homes, it seems like the possibilities are endless.  They were willing to do whatever we wanted, but the budget frequently knocked us back into reality.

Again, we chose the Litchfield Tradition Elevation.

• Tradition Elevation
• Stone instead of Brick
• Stone wrap on sides of home
• 1/2" OSB on roof
• Extra layer of ice guard on roof
• OSB exterior wall sheating (instead of DOW)
• No shutters on front windows - The far left one will be a 3.5" white trim and the one next to it will have a stone border
• 18'x8' garage door instead of standard 16'x7'
• Paint the front door and sidelights a dark gray
