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.

New Pictures

So here are the pictures I've been waiting to get all week. If you will double click on the pictures you will get an enlarged version. You will probably need that to see what I point out in the captions. We are really moving along now. Almost everything has been ordered and much has arrived. 12 tons of rip rap, stone for covering slopes, will be delivered on Monday. My youngest son will be here next week and has agreed to help us with the task of doing the rip rapping. There are going to be some sore muscles around here next week. Pie takes care of sore muscles, right?? Our painter has this neat kit that allows her to test whether or not the stucco has cured enough for painting. We did not pass, so we won't paint the exterior until after Thanksgiving. We think we will get our carpeting in this weekend(we'll see). And the bathroom countertops are all due the week after Thanksgiving. Whether we can get a driveway and whether we can pass the final without one remains problematic.
