| Still kind of freaky to see this sign and know that they mean "me". In fact, I'm still kind of detached from it and it hasn't sunken in that this will be my piece of dirt. |
My lot flagged out and marked for
the driveway cut-out. |
There's a pretty big drainage
easement behind me, so there will be a good gap between me and the neighbors to the rear. |
| June 14, 2009 - Construction started on June 12th |
 |
| Forms & fill dirt is in. Funny how small it seems when
it's at this point in the process. |

| Forgot my camera, so mediocre cellphone pic's
will have to do this week.. The foundation is all trenched out, some of the plumbing is done, but I don't see any electrical yet. Pic 4 & 5 show the lovely weeds for my backyard!! |

| Not a lot of exciting work done this week, pretty
much finishing the framing for the foundation and putting in the tension cables. Supposedly they are going to pour the foundation no later than Wednesday, and start framing the next Wednesday. It supposed to rain Tuesday, that might delay things a little bit. |

| Pardon my finger in the shots, it was an
unplanned trip and I didn't have my camera, so crappy cell phone pic's again. Pic 2 is my garage, 3 & 4 are the front door, and pic 5 is the kitchen. Lumber delivery is scheduled for Tuesday and start framing on Wednesday, so things are about to really start cranking. |

| Amazing how fast it starts to look like a house
when everything is pre-built and assembled like a puzzle!! There is still a little bit more framing to do, but not very much. |

| Lots of work done last week!! The
pile of bricks is probably good thing. Most of the plumbing is done, bathtub & shower are there but not installed yet. |
| August 2, 2009 - No new pic's last week, they didn't do anything picture worthy really. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Stoked that I finally get to park in my
driveway!! Bricks were done this week, as well as more interior wiring for the alarm. The inside is still just 2x4's, nothing to note there. Framing inspection was done last week, and we have a pre-drywall walk thru & inspection on Wednesday. |
Sorry, if I have to see the Honey Pot then so do you!! |
| August 9, 2009 |
| I ended up making an unplanned trip out these yesterday, no camera
or cell phone with me so no pictures this week. Dry-wall was put up, so it looks like a house on the inside now too. No problems with the inspection last Wednesday |

| September 7, 2009 Since they have added things that could get stolen they have started locking the place up, so I couldn't get in to take pic's but I got this one of the kitchen floor last week. This is temporary flooring, I plan to install slate (or something) within 2 years. Sinks, faucets, and commodes have been installed. |

Looks like we're getting ready for sod. |
 Just a basic & cheap sink, I'll get something cool when I do granite. |

 My Realtor, Orlando Perez, wallering on my new carpet.... some people, geez... |
 |
| September 25, 2009 Getting pretty close to being done, just some semi-minor "fix-it" work to do. I took some paint samples out today to see what I like, so I'll be ready to roll on that right away... which should be somewhere around Oct. 10th. |
