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.

Inspection Day Approaches

As you can see, the lath work is coming right along. There is actually alot left to finish on the back of the house. They worked up on the roof, wrapping the parapets today. At one point it looked like they were about to get a cloudburst right over their heads but the clouds moved a few miles west before they dumped. This job should be finished by Tuesday and maybe even Monday. As soon as it is we will call for a group of inspections. Once we pass those it is on to insulation and drywall.
As we were on the way over to the lot after dinner we came around a corner to see all these javelina. We pulled over, grabbed the camera, and managed to get a shot. Every couple of seconds another one or two came across the road--we didn't get an accurate count but at least 10 were in the group. This is not an animal you want to tangle with. But they are cool to see.
