We have officially started!

After almost 3 years of planning and designing on paper, today we took the first steps on the site of our new house.

We cut down and carted away our fruit cocktail tree (a grafted fruit tree that had branches of nectarine, peach, plum, and apricot), 2 grape vines, a grafted Asian pear tree that had 4 varieties of pear, a grapefruit tree, a lemon tree, and an orange tree.

It was sad to see them go, but it was exciting to think of what is to come.

We'll be ripping the stumps out with a tractor, I doubt they will resprout....plus we'll have to scrape the lot flat in a few weeks......I doubt we'll see any re-growth...

oooh nooooo... the arugula....
Tis true, the current arugula patch is going to be but a memory. But, I'm stockpiling the soil from the raised garden beds and will be building a NEW vegetable garden. The arugula will rise again....

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
