About Me

Name:
Location: Arizona, United States

Welcome to my site. I will be Chronicling the construction of our new home. Here is a brief history of my experiance in this area. I moved every few years as a child. As an adult I stayed in one house for 25 years, but helped remodel it four times. From a minor bath redo to adding an entire second story to the house. Now my husband and I have moved to AZ to care for my elderly parents and are undertaking to be the owner/builders of a custom home. Some people don't like change but I guess I'm not one of them. Or perhaps it is just limited change I like. To my husband's current dismay I helped build a 4000 square foot house in Romania in 2001. We took it from slab to fully furnished in 11 days. I therefore have meager patience for the pace of building here in Arizona.

The Building Begins

Welcome to my site. I will be chronicling the construction of our new home. Just getting to this point has taken a looooong time. As many of you know we moved here last July 1 (2004). In December we submitted our plans for a building permit, but due to an extra "buffer overlay zone" review (when they tell you that you need a BOZO review, you ought to know that spells trouble), it wasn't until March 25th that we got the permit.
We have graded the site, actually cut and fill, and we had so much extra fill that the actual elevation of the pad is 6 inches higher than expected. Underground rough plumbing and electrical conduits are in place, the forms are up, and we are just waiting for the concrete company to tell us when they will be able to pour.
