more forms in place . . .

Starting to look like there might be a foundation in the near future. The entire foundation will be poured in 3 stages and should take about 6 weeks to complete. Here are more pics . . .

. . . and so it begins

Mark your calendars, February 6th - the forms are being set and a closing date of June 15 had been proposed (those guys are so funny!). Here are some pics . . .

Nothing is Happening!

There are NO signs of our house being started.

Another contractor bites the dust . . .

Well, we just received an update from James, our builder, reporting that Agave currently has no foundation contractor on the books. This is particularly frustrating since it appears that they're ready to set forms and pour our foundation! Murphy's law is alive and well in our build process!

We have received no communication as to when this situation will be rectified.

Broken Ground . . .

We have a hole in the ground - YEAH! The initial dig and leveling was done and now we're waiting on a re-survey so forms can be set for the foundation. The foundation pour will happen in 3 stages although, I'm not exactly sure what each stage consists of. Here are the pic of recent activity . . .

Good Meeting!

Our meeting with Adam (agave building supervisor) and James (head builder for our house) was good. It was great to walk the lot knowing where the foundation would be and get a true sense of the location of the house . . . the views will be terrific!

While I am confident there will be "issues" to solve between now and closing, I also feel better now about the future of our house and Agave as a quality housing development than ever before. I've always known it was a GREAT concept, I now have hope that the building execution will also be of the highest quality . . . that is in context of the price point of these houses.

Ground breaking should take place early next week (hmmm, I think I've typed that before) as long as all crew members return from the holidays on time. As soon as that happens, count on more regular updates and pictures galore!

Survey stakes, we have survey stakes!!!!!

Yes ladies and gentleman, the first physical sign of our house now exist on our lot! We have a meeting with our new builder on Tuesday afternoon to go over plan details - can't wait!!!!

I'll update again after the meeting.
