From the brochure on the KHOV web site. |
A new lot (not mine) being laid out. |
Rebar in position for the post-tensioned slab |
The house you see here will be my neighbor's |
Same model as mine will be - but a slightly different styling |
My lot-to-be |
What a finished slab looks like |
A couple days later - framing going up |
...and up |
then the roofing |
and they just keep rolling from one to the other |
Meanwhile - this mancave will have to do |
What more does a guy need? |
Utilities trenching - serious groundbreaking! |
Front yard drip (irrigation) system |

Water line trenches are 2 ft. deep - to avoid having hot water in the cold water lines |
Main water line running to the back of the house |
Cut-out for the bay window in the MBR |
Apparently for the master bath |
Kitchen? |

View looking north, from the front yard |

Last look, on Saturday, before they bury the lines |
Following Tuesday morning |
Next will come the slab |
Raising the roof! (Not my house - just showing the process) |
Up she goes |
That quick...a matter of minutes |
Setting up the post tensioned concrete slab |

First step. |
From the kitchen. |
Looking out the kitchen window. |
Through the kitchen window opening, looking north. |
Entertainment center. |
2nd bath, behind the entertainment center. |
Should be a piece of cake to add wiring for more speakers. |
View through the bay window in the MBR. |
From the patio - looking at Picketpost Mountain in the distance. |
Shot from the back yard. |

We have a roof. |
House across the street - it's available! |
The drive on the way in is spectacular. |
The community is 2 miles from US 60. |
Surrounded by state trust land |
See the house dead center? Mine is just to the right of it. |

You gotta love this view |
Back yard's gonna need a lot of work. I better get somebody. :O) |
9 ft. ceilings |
Guess I better learn how to cook, huh. |
I got my George Foreman grill - what else do I need? |
Note "Sold" sign in window - heck yeah! |
Living room |
Finished! (Had them repaint the trimwork) |

The ultimate mancave |
Or, maybe the ultimate doghouse :O) |
