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.

News From the Neighborhood

We have a new driveway. (Photos will come later, they have to be loaded on Dave's computer which is not here yet.) We have 'real' phone sevice. Our number is: 520-760-0210. We have cable, which means TV (my early Christmas present is a kitchen TV) and Internet, so I'm back on line.
The local animal population has been coming to call. One of the cement truck drivers yesterday said he saw a mountain lion right at the base of our development. Our next door neighbor said they had had 3 bobcats in their yard. As we drove out in the afternoon we saw several animals going into the brush and as we drove by I clearly saw one young bobcat. When we returned after dark last night we saw 3 racoons in the drainage ditch out front. Later, a coyote ran across the yard and back and forth on the driveway. No footprints on it this morning though. In the middle of the night I saw a small animal come up and look in a couple of the doors and run around the house. Looked like a fox but it was too dark to be sure. What a great place!!
