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.

Foundation Walls and Backfilling






The foundation walls were poured before we headed to Lake Powell. Then the concrete had to cure a little. Dirt was brought back in to fill in the footing area...and the basement plumbing was put in place. The heater/AC vents are now in the basement. The steel beams are now in place so that the garage floor can be poured next week. The basement floor will also be poured next week. Then the framers will be able to come! We are getting really excited. The house is starting to take shape and we can really see the shape of it. I plan to meet with the cabinet designer this next week to finalize our plans and then I will meet with Dave at Orson Gygi to finalize the appliances.
