We’re building a new house. Here are some of the construction stories.
We sent this photo to the builder and asked that they fix the Tyvek (second time this has happened). We don’t have much traction from them that they are going to fix it.

Construction is painfully slow. The roofer has now taken 3 full months and is not finished…
We had two projects in mind when we came out to the house. We often start by walking through the house hoping something was done since our last visit. While no construction was done, there were baby birds inside the house. Danelle managed to catch two of them. Sonora wanted a photo of them each … Continue reading “Mailbox And A Fence – 5/10/2025”
