Welcome!
This is an exciting time for our family! We have outgrown our current home and have decided it was time for a change. We started looking to buy a new home, but didn't find anything we "just loved". So, we decided to build one. We were so excited to find the perfect lot nestled against Burch Creek! And, we only have to move a few blocks away from where we live right now. This keeps us close to all of our friends, and the kids won't need to change schools. Habitations Home Plans created the perfect plan for our new home! Kasey Malan of Malan Homes is our builder. The site work is already underway! We hope to be in our home around the first of next year. We will keep this blog updated with pictures and eventually a camera link so we can share this experience with our family and friends.

The Waiting Game
Rock Structures have been working so hard on the lot. Our rock walls are almost completed. The terraces are beginning to take shape...and it is looking like we will have a fabulous backyard! I can't wait to plant new trees and plants on the terraces. Maybe we will have room for a garden! For now, we are surcharging the dirt on one of the corners. They have piled a lot of extra dirt on the corner, and we are waiting to see how much settling occurs. In the past week we had about a quarter of an inch, so we will leave the dirt there and measure again next week. In the meantime, we are getting bids for our kitchen cabinets.

The Rock Walls
We are really happy with all the hard work the crew from Rock Structures has been doing on the site! They have taken out all the necessary trees and have hauled in tons of new dirt. Now they are beginning the rock walls that will terrace our backyard. The survey crews from Great Basin have also helped us so much, staking the walls. It is so important that they walls are in the right location and that they are drained properly. Paul is also checking the site with Kasey daily to make sure everything during this vital stage of site preparation goes down without a hitch!
