Name:
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.

Landscaping Continues

As you can see from the following photos, we have been making progress on the landscaping. We have gotten all the drainage channels dug, we've raked out the bigger rocks, we've hauled in some really big rocks from the back yard, and we've planted most of what we bought a few weeks ago. We are hoping to get the final wall caps on so we can plant the last few prickly pears. We have 3 small trees that we will have someone else plant for us, and we have to order all the decomposed granite to cover all the dirt. Again we hope to hire someone to spread all that around!! Gates should start arriving on Friday. They won't show from the front, but will finally enclose the patio areas. Stay tuned for more progress.......
