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.

Looking Good

I have found that when you decide to do something as big as building a house essentially by yourselves, you are subject to lots of second guessing your choices!! So it was with great relief and delight that I saw the house today with the main floor finished. I chose this tile about a year ago and the day my tile guy went to order it they had just gotten an order for 70,000 square feet of this tile in 18x18 size. Needless to say it was going to be a long while to get mine in. So I said 'go with the 14x14 size' and that was available. I had chosen some of my colors months ago (wall colors that is) but one I changed only a couple of days before we painted. Well, I think the tile and the colors look great together. And so do the cabinets! Now I'm just hoping I'll say the same thing after the countertops and light fixtures are all installed.
