First Step

We are taking our first step in the Adair Homes building process. We have been praying about going this route for a little over a week now ( I know, not terribly long), but we don't feel like a door is closing, yet, anyway. So, we take our first step.

We are working on the application for Adair's financial "stuff" and we will then go and make an offer on the lot that we want. In our case, it is 2 lots in a subdivision about a 1/4 mile from this home. Our kids would continue in Cascades Elementary (yeah!) and we are familiar with this part of town, so the feel would remain similar. It isn't the acreage we desired, but we are keeping in the scope of our reality. We probably would be wise to stay with something smaller, as my back problems and our time spent doing life require more than what it takes to keep up much property.

Our lot would start at the street and run along that fence line you see in this photo above.

This photo is a little skewed, because the lot looks larger than it actually is. If you make a line from the two arrows, that would be our property line.

This is the view from the back property line.

Again, this is all a little premature, as we haven't even made an offer on the property yet and if a pre-existing house comes on the market that we really like, we will not go this route.

We have chosen the Adair home 2659. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2,659 sq. ft. with a master on the main, an office/living room, family room, kitchen and dining on the main. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms (which we may make 2 beds into one large room for all 4 boys to share), bathroom, we would have a guest bedroom (possibly) and it has a nice bonus room area that is open and feels more "family room-ish."

I will post some more photos in my next post. For some reason, I can't get them to be in a good format here.
