Day 141: Perspective

Today we couldn't go inside because yesterday the garage door locked once it was pulled down? So, we opted to see our backyard from a different perspective,  the farthest corner we could.  While I paid a premium for a corner lot, I do believe it was worth it. The yard sure is big!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 135: The Fence and Other Things

Today some workers were at the house spraying on some wall texture in touch-up places so we didn't stay long. I mostly wanted to see the fence during daylight. However due to the rain, the yard was a muddy mess so we couldn't walk out to see it up close. It looks good though.

I also took some pictures of a few things I hadn't done such as the water heater and breaker box.

I'm starting to get really excited about the house. All of these months of waiting and watching are about to end and the house will be all ours! We can't wait to live here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Day 134: Finally Fenced

Today, we took off out of town to go antiquing for my birthday and didn't get to see the house until very late. Of course we still swung by. What did our headlights show us thru the dark and misty rain? A fence!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 133: Happy Birthday!!

Look at this amazing surprise on my birthday! My door! It is absolutely beautiful! It really makes a statement and adds so much to my house's curb appeal. I couldn't be happier!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day Eight: Panoramic View

Welcome to Week Two!

Today the kids and I grabbed a quick snack at the site of our new home. We grabbed some apples and oranges and trotted off to enjoy our quiet spot.  It's such a gorgeous day out! Here it's breezy and about 72 degrees, an absolutely lovely Texas day! After our snack, we randomly dropped the seeds in the space that would one day be the backyard. Who knows if they will actually grow into anything fruitful, but you never know.

Then the kids graciously stood on our fence lines so I could really see how big the lot is. In the pic above, I stitched three pictures together to get this panoramic shot. It makes our lot appear pie-shaped, but you get to see the whole thing. Im standing where the fences will come together and the girls are on the front edges of our lot.  There will actually be about 10' strip of grass between the fence and the sidewalk and curb (not shown here). The lot is 110 feet and our house is 40x40. Even with its 10' bumpout and covered patio, we'll have still have a nice size backyard.
