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.

The Tiling Goes On

Our tilers have been hard at work all week. They are there early in the morning and don't quit until around 5pm. Most other workers we've had would wrap things up by 3pm at the latest. The guest bath is very close to being done, the main tile throughout the house is almost all in and they started the floor in the master bath today. Even I can't see much difference in these tile pictures, but the bathroom really is a very different tile from that in the other photos.
We have been told our second coat of stucco will be applied tomorrow, but they have not delivered the sand for it yet so....we are hoping. Meanwhile we are keeping busy running from one end of town to the other, picking up stuff we've ordered, trying to put in other orders, etc. Our list is definately shrinking. The third neighbor passed his final inspection today but is still missing carpet(backordered) so they probably won't move in for another 2 weeks. They did a beautiful job on the front landscaping for that house. Our CC&Rs allow us 6 months to finish landscaping so we will wait until we've moved in. We'll probably hydroseed mainly for erosion control and to get our final.
