In the beginning...

If I had been smart, I would have started this blog the day we found the property. But, I will backtrack a little to bring everything currrent. My dad bought this property in December of 2007. There are three lots all together. The plan is for us to purchase one lot from him for our house, and then build a duplex on either side of our house for my parents.

We are not seasoned developers, but have had some experience. My dad developed a piece of property two years ago. He divided it into four parts, two he built on, and two were sold. Kevin and I actually built our spec house on one of the divided lots from this property. After building and selling the spec house, I was determined we would never build again. But, time makes you forget things, and eventually I couldn't remember why I didn't want to build. So, here we are.

Here are some views of the lots before we started.
