The start.
|
We can now buy our
homes (and do our paperwork) on site! |
Markers are installed,
delineating roads and home sites. |
Walls appear.
Future residents come to look at lots. |
Holes are dug
to connect to underground utilities and drainage... |
... and utility lines
are brought up to ground level! |
Frames are
laid, and sidewalks are poured. |
Driveways
are laid out. Also ready for concrete! |
Street are brought
up to the proper level. Almost ready for paving! |
Another view
of the almost- ready street. |
You can see the
sales trailer on the left. If I'm correct, this is 25th Place. |
Drain lines
are dug into a home's lot. |
Next is framing.
Gee, we can almost see the outline of a home! |
Steel reinforcing
rods are installed where the concrete will be poured.
(A feature I'm very
happy to see!) |
You can see the
'post tension rods' protruding out the sides here. This home's just about ready for concrete! |
A poured slab.
Mohave model.
Ahh, the look of
fresh concrete..
Also, a close up of
a cool stamping! |
'Certificate of
Acceptance' means Lot 26 is ready for pouring! |
Outer edge 'view
fencing' is going in. The beautiful desert views are why we all bought here! |
12/24/06: Some
of the streets are paved! |
1/03/07: Framing
has started! This is Lot#3, with a view of Lot#1 in the background. |
1/03/07:Lot#1,
plan 4512, elevation B, Mohave model.
How cool is this?
|
1/09/07:Lot#3,
now a two story!
They're going up
fast! |
Lot#1 (a Mohave)
looks like it's in the lead. Much of the wood framing is done, even the plywood roof and walls. |
Another visit to
lot #26 shows they've started framing there too. |
This is a view of
Electra Lane, looking East. Five homes went up within 24 hours!
(Lots 6-10,
approximately.) |
This is Dust Devil
Drive, also looking East. Most of the lots are either newly dug up or ready for concrete!
(Lots 62 to 72)
|
For example,
here's Lot 62. The footings for the patio cover have just been poured, and the rest is ready! |
Looking at 25th
Place, here's freshly poured Lot 77. Many of the other lots on this street have their foundations poured, and are ready for framing. |
Indoor plumbing!
Here's the first tub,
ready for installation in Lot #1. Copper and plastic lines were being installed as this photo was taken.
Cool!

Lot 3 on the left,
lots 6 through 10 on the right. |
Lot 19 gets a roof.
Amazing to watch them carrying 4x8 sheets of plywood across the length of a house! |
Lot 1 gets some
plumbing... |
Ductwork is
added to the Mohave on Lot 1. |
As the sun sets
on a slab, the home on Lot 62 begins... |
I crossed the
'power line wash' to see what was happening on that side. Here are lots 92 and 93 getting prepped. |
I walked back to
find a truck spraying down the dust on 25th Place. |
Nice to see our
roads are graded correctly. Notice how all the water is running towards one of our 'water retention areas'. |
This photo was
taken around lots 101 to 105.
I'm looking east,
standing in the middle of what will one day be Desert Peak Parkway.
Cool...
|
Lots 77 through 79.
77 is poured, 78 is
ready for pouring, 79 is still in the 'prep' stage.
The community's
coming along! |

This is lot 36.. a
'garage left' Mohave model... just like mine will be! |
Right next door,
lot 35 has fresh concrete being smoothed to perfection. |
... than the single
stories! Here's Lot 1, with windows and patio door installed, and an outer wall of styrofoam and chicken wire being added. |
Lot 3 is having
it's outer walls constructed. Two stories takes a bit longer... |
Lot 19 gets tar paper
added to it's roof. Window insulation is already installed. |
