Thanks!! We are very excited...



Thanks... And remember, there is a moving party or two first....before the housewarming party!! :D

looks to be a beautiful house and amazing shop .. one thing I don't understand WHY no basements in the southwest...?

Hopefully you know that lady?.....lol

We actually had the option of a basement with this floor plan...which is very unusual for sure. We just preferred to have a house with no steps this go around. Plus, we didn't need a 4100 sq ft house...


Are you talking about the one in the video with the Chiefs shirt walking the dogs? If so...yes, I know her pretty well. :D

I think a lot of it is the Soil - in the SE especially FL, the Soil is Sandy and a lot of times dense.

I believe in the SW, the Soil is very Dense.

Also it is Cheaper to build up vs. down

That outta do! I like all the windows and that shop is alright too. :D

Not many basements out this way due to caliche and bedrock.

Jesus that is awesome. That shop appears to dwarf the house... a man that knows his priorities. :D

Lance,
I'm SOOOO jealous of that shop!!! VERY nice!!! I purchased Dust Off while I was going to school in PHX back in 73. Really liked that area in the winter but man oh man the summers are brutal. At least there is not much humidity. I predict you will be at the BJ auction in Scottsdale come January, just sayin.

Thanks!! It'll be interesting to see what I do with all of those windows 12' up in the air in the shop. The light might be nice, not sure about blocking the sun (and heat) coming in thru the West facing ones yet though.



Hey, she got the kitchen she wanted also...AND a pool... ;)


Thanks... I was pretty excited to find a way to get a shop like that built right next to my house in a gated subdivision right in town. Several of the lots in our Subdivison have TWO of these RV garages sitting side by side next to the house. It's crazy really...but very cool at the same time. So far the people we've seen walking around the neighborhood for the most part look to be on the younger side, not the older "retiree age" side. Lots of big toys in the yards and garages as well. We are excited about that too.

I've been to BJ and Russo and Steele many times already, not sure that I'll make it a point to be there...but I'm not saying never either. I do know that I'll personally NEVER let any of the Jackson family see a dollar of mine...in any way shape or form...so if I do go it'l have to be on a free ticket. :D

Sounds like there is a Story to Tell!:bitchslap:
