Well, it has started!! Though I'm still in MD for a mere 3 more weeks, our stem walls and slab are in. Framing starts next week, and is expected to be more-or-less closed within a week (walls and roof sheathed, windows and exterior doors installed).

The contract allows six months (March) but the builder is now saying he'll be done about the end of December.

I will be arriving about Veteran's Day. We are having full RV hookups put in for later visitors, and they will be ready for me to park and camp right on our property while the house is being finished.

So....no pics until I get there [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Attached is a snap of the lot, looking north; not much there now but creosote bushes, occasional yucca, palo verde, and mesquite. All of that will change, as the first major purchase once I get there will be a CUT [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
