Hello, Ryan. As your House is modern farmhouse styles, I think thermal break aluminum windows and doors are good for you. Thermal break aluminum, or thermally broken aluminum, is of good energy efficiency than general aluminium windows, as there is a non-mental thermal material to insert in the middle between the interior and exterior aluminum profiles. Aluminum is strong, so you could use slimmer profiles to represent your farmhouse style, making the house modern and beautiful. For opening types, I would suggest tilt turn casement windows. They have two ways of opening, that is to swing open like a door, it's an inward casement. And it tits from the top, it's an inward hoppers. Tilt turn casement windows are multifunctional and practical. We would like offer some useful tips for your project, you could reach us at ChinaWDMA Windows by googling it.

What great texture and color. I want one. I never would have thought Phacelia. It is nothing like the Phacelia purshii and P. bipinnatifida here in the NC mountains.

I did the Oregon coast some years ago. I think I did 5 days of beach and 3 of Portland that year. As a Californian I just didn't fine the beaches all that impressive. I do love Astoria and the Columbia River Gorge. Seaside is the most touristy but it offers a wider expanse of beach that resembles California. Cannon beach is a good beach for hiking and walking. I had a blast in Portland one year. I happened to get on a Maritime Museum cruise. Met many of the guys who restored it and got the grand tour of all the inner workings below, while the group that booked the tour stayed up on deck doing their wine and cheese thing. One of the crew even took to a lower deck where I was stood mere feet away from the giant paddle wheel and felt the spray on my face. If you stay in Portland I recommend the Crystal Hotel. Just down the street from Powell's Books. A great little quirky boutique hotel. It has it's own restaurant, a bar with entertainment and an indoor salt water soaking pool. One of my favorite getaways northbound was to take the train up to Portland, book a couple of nights at the Crystal, live mostly off the food trucks and wander about. Spent hours at Powell's and ended up each night with a soak in the pool. . Then if I had time for a few extra days I would rent a car and visit a beach or the gorge.
