Exterior Paint

The sun wasn't really in the right position for taking a picture of the front of the house, but I did it anyway. It has been sprayed but no trim painted.


Here is a picture of the back to get a better idea of color and what it will look like with the trim painted.

Finishing touches are going on in the house. We are told the occupancy permit will be issued tomorrow and Wayne & Susan have their moving van loaded and will be in town Saturday for the BIG day.

Dealing With Dirt

From Wayne:
"Here are a few words and comments on our Wenatchee Home Project as we grow very near the completion and get ready for the moving to our new home.

We have now started the landscape. it is a high desert design with large rocks, dry wash, and functional swales. Additional rocks, sand, flag stone, and native plants will soon arrive after landscape fabric and grades are finalized.

About 80% of the pool fencing is in place, but we have to constantly push on the pool people (from Swim World) to keep them on track in finished the pool project.

The final finish coat of paint has been applied to the millwork, granite counters are installed, hardwoods have been coated, and some appliances have been installed. Very exciting but still a lot to do with only 10 das left before closing and occupancy.

We have gotten very little cooperation from other builders and owners regarding their responsibility on the bank at the rear to retain dirt and prevent erosion. We put in two retaining walls with geogrid reinforcement; as well as large rock. So far the other builders and property owners have done very little, if any, to retain their added fill dirt and prevent erosiononto our property and into our on-site retention system.

Our development does have CC&Rs but not much enforcement. We may need to seek additional legal assistance in getting those responsible to retaining their added fill dirt as they attempt to turn sloped lots into flat lots.

My wife and I are staying very positive and focused as we prepare for the move to Wenatchee. All will work out and all will be fine in our journey to a new frontier."
