Went to visit the new house today--through rain and sleet and snow---and mounds of paperwork. We met with the realtor to go over and sign prelims. Then we met with the builder to go over the finishing touches on the house and to look over the lay of the land.
We love our new place. We keep finding more to love. The latest--and it's an water engineer thing--the NID water is piped and pressurized. It's the water that will feed the pond and irrigate whatever the master of the estate wishes to farm.
The finishes touches the builder has chosen are all great. We still will pick the carpet. His wife has done the rest, and we couldn't agree more on her choices. Dan's a local and has used first rate subs that he knows. This guy has built a wonderful house. And we learned a lot about its history today--the architect was a top local, too.
The rain stopped long enough to walk the property. 6 acres is a good sized piece of ground, and ours is wonderful. It should be good enough to grow just about anything. And the views are still great--even on our dreary wet day.
Ten minutes up the road in town, there was snow on the ground. We looked out at the trees and mountains while we had lunch with Jack--even the mundane is beautiful here. As we were leaving town, snow was coming down in big huge flakes--time to outrun it.
Love to all from Villa Rosa (well, soon, anyway)
