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.

Very Nearly Through

As the pictures below show, we got alot done this week. The landscaping on the front of the house is essentially finished. We are waiting for 3 more gates in the back. We have a bit more grading to do in the back enclosed area and then we'll have to put gravel down in there too. We have to order a few more tons of the decomposed granite for the area right next to the road, but we think we want a slightly bigger size rock for that. Then we will sprinkle more of those rocks all over what we've already done so it has a more "natural" look. But as far as the homeowners' association's rule that landscaping has to be finished in 180 days we were close. We got our final December 9th and finished this today, June 9th.
