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.

A Wall Here and a Wall There

It has been an exciting few days. On Friday we did get electricity to the slab. We also got our first batch of lumber delivered-so much that we can't use any motorized equipment to back fill the trench. We think we will get the gas conduit in this Friday and perhaps by then some of the wood will be out of the way. A lot of the wood is now the walls of the house. But the walls don't connect to one another. We are guessing there is a method to their madness, but it may be just to get shade where it is needed during the hottest part of the day. Today it reached 106 F here so that is a good reason for the tallest wall in the house to be up!
