September, October, November (conclusion)
We moved in to our beautiful new home on September 25. What an exciting day!
The next six weeks were spent organizing, unpacking and looking out the windows every few seconds at the spectacular views we now enjoy daily. After all the planning, decisions and trips to visit the house under construction we can hardly believe that we’re now living here.
Bringing up a few things for the house
The front gate still needed a little work……..
But by a week or so after we moved in, it was finished. We then moved a few of our large barrel cacti to the front of it.
Then we brought in some rocks and gravel to finish it off.
We were able to enjoy the swimming pool for a few weeks before it got too cold. We’ll definitely have to look into having a solar heating system installed in the spring.
For those of you who keep asking for more house photos, here are the latest (you can see we’ve started the landscaping).
Entry gate to front courtyard
Walkway to front door
Breezeway entrance and the ladder to nowhere
Yard entrance gate. Anyone for shoveling rock?
Our favorite view of the house (11/30/08)
This concludes the blog on the building of our house. The site will remain available as a link from the “Curious Naturalist” blog and “The Nest Box” website. From this point on, all posts about the house and our experiences living here will be found on the “Curious Naturalist” blog.
Thanks for visiting!
