Welcome to my attempt at documenting the design/construction of our new home outside of Queen Creek, AZ.

We have been at this process for about 3 years now. We thought it would be a 'slam dunk'--we'd find property, get the design, choose a contractor, and have a new house in a little more than a year. NOT LIKELY. Should have remembered my favorite saying--no job is so simple that it cannot be made more difficult.

Finishing Touches

Hi Christie...the final home during move-in looked like this. After 8 years it now resembles this. The trees are much bigger than in the most recent picture and the garden area to the right of the house has been redesigned. But yeah, that's it. I finally gave up and got a gardener. Doh...
