Home Sweet Home – Almost

frame.jpgThe contractor we commissioned to build our new home in Arizona has really come through. We were out to the construction site today and walked through some of the particulars with him today. We settled on locations for computers, TVs, special requests (like installing a gun safe) and a myriad of choices for cabinets, doors, finishing hardware and styles that the Damsel selected since she has the artistic talent in the family.

The best thing about this project is that we have met most of the people supplying and working on the new build. Our contractor assembled a great crew from trusted sources and not the lowest bidder. We made a lot of progress toward realizing our new home today.

The framing should be done this week in spite of the Labor Day holiday. Next week, the electricians, plumbers (gas and water) plus other tradesmen will show up to do their collective magic. We can hardly wait!
