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.

More Framing Progress

This week we have seen the roof line becoming more evident. With several different heights it had been hard to see what went with what but now you can tell which walls match up to each other. We are still missing a few interior walls, seemingly all in spots I have cabinets planned, so we can't order those yet. But the windows have been measured so bit by bit things are progressing. Both the entry porch and the rear patio have been framed in. Perhaps tomorrow the porch with city views will get done. We figure we have at least a full week of framing left. Our neighbors' homes are moving right along. We run into them out at the site often now, as we all are out checking on our homes. I have to admit I'm jealous that they are several months ahead of us, but then we are learning from both their mistakes and successes!
