After over a year of discussion, questions, resarch & more discussion with our chosen builder, we have a contract. We hope building will commence within the next 3-4 weeks.
On June 16 we will go to the city to get a variance on our choice of masonery. Keller requires a larger percentage of brick or stone than our Craftsman style plan calls for. We are told it should be a formality for approval. Fingers crossed.
A tree survey will be done to determine which trees need to come down for asthetics and for placement of the house. A soil test will be run & applications for permits will be filed!
Almost a year after we purchased the land it really is going to happen!
We spent another couple of hours roaming through Arizona Tile - http://www.arizonatile.com/ yesterday.
We viewed the big slabs of the granite samples we picked last week. What a difference the big slabs are from the small samples!
One was put aside as 'blah', http://www.arizonatile.com/products/natural-stone/granite/nero_azul.aspx
Another put aside as still a possibility http://www.arizonatile.com/products/natural-stone/granite/blue_pearl_gt.aspx
A 3rd that we had not seen caught our eyes as a definite 'maybe'. http://www.arizonatile.com/products/natural-stone/granite/polare_blue.aspx
Working with one of the designers we put together possibilities for kitchen tiles & a backsplash. We liked what we saw but will go to 'tile world' in Haltom City/Fort Worth for one more pass through before deciding.
