 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) |
