Stillhope, the experiences you have told us about makes me glad we are able to be on island while our cottage is being built. I would have been very unhappy if my builder had surprised me with brands and colors that I had not agreed to purchasing. Having helped my hubby with some woodworking projects I can't understand why white wood should cost more. Geting a nice smooth finish on a woodgrain finish was always more difficult for us than a coat of paint.
