Our first Christmas in the new house was a lot of fun. We had a 10.5 foot tree....Next year we're going for 12 or 13!
From March of 2005-July of 2006 we built a new house on an urban infill lot near downtown Sacramento. Jeff designed it, Mike was the general contractor. Our house is 3 stories high and 17' wide x 72' long. Among the goals were energy efficiency, cool design, & noise mitigation as we are right next to a 10 lane freeway. The house has solar electric, solar hot water & radiant heat. For the past 9 years we have been working on the landscaping and enjoying our home.
