Minor Construction Update



On our way back from Antelope Island, we swung by the new place to see how things had been progressing with the "less-than-wet" weather we've been having lately. There was a big fork lift parked out front, so we thought this time we'd show off the garage and back ally. It looks like they'll be starting on framing the second story any day now! We'll be going up again tomorrow and post an update if there has been any significant update.Ours is the second one in on the right. It's a one car surrounded by two-car garages.

Antelope Island

We went out to Antelope Island this weekend with two of Tennille's sisters that are in town. Thought we'd share some photos:

Beach looking NW
I hadn't been out there in long time, and forgot how much wildlife was out there. I thought it was just bison and shrimp! We saw a lot of really neat things. Here's what we saw:

Lizzard
Spiders!!!
Brine Shrimp
Brine Flies
We're headed to the zoo tomorrow, so hopefully we get some good photos there too!

Construction Update

We went by the site today to take care of some paperwork and thought we'd give you an update on the construction progress. Our space is the one on the right. It's kind of hard to see in this photo, but it's framed all the way back to the garage.

Construction Update

Here's an updated shot of our town house's construction. It's hard to see in this photo (cell phone shot), but the foundation is being filled in and the piping is in place. This was taken Saturday, so I'm sure it's come a way since then.

House Shopping

For those who don't know, Tennille and I have been doing a little house shopping (well, townhouse shopping). We fell in love with a new development in Farmington. We fell in love with it so much, we've secured the spot and have moved forward with getting a mortgage. So far, we've been pre-qualified, and everything looks very promising. Here's a few photos we thought we'd share with you:

These are shots from the model home they have on site, but the same layout we're looking at. The foundation shot is of our actual unit; the porch is in the middle. Anyway, we're pretty excited!

Summer Weather

Well, summer weather is officially here in SLC. A couple of quick and very wet storms have blown through the last couple of days, and we snapped this shot yesterday. I know Tennille is really looking forward to more storms ahead!
