Construction - Day 1

The agents at Old Stone Ranch where we are having our house built told us that they were scheduled to break ground the week of December 7th. They really weren't kidding! They sent us this picture today, and sure enough, ground has been broken.


We've had them put off getting started as long as possible. The standard build time for Shea homes is 135 days. If things go nominally, that would put us moving in at the end of April. We would like to time things so we move out of our current house just as Trent's school year is finishing up, which is at the end of May. We'll do what we can to push things out as much as possible, but with the housing market the way it is, builders are definitely anxious to get properties off their hands. We'll see how it goes...
