This page shows just a few of the many extras we added to the project. A 20x60 foot slab in front for parking and a future garage and entry area. A 20x10 slab for a future porch. Also, a massive concrete base for a radio tower (for Amateur Radio).

We also had the slabs and stoops and exposed foundation sealed to increase their longevity and to improve their appearance.

There are many interior decorating details and landscape projects left to the next owner and that is probably good! Rarely does one owner agree with the choices of another. You get a nice white palette inside and a just started landscape outside.

We have added two Rubbermaid sheds, one large for lawn mower or lawn tractor, bicycles, ATV, or whatever. The other is smaller for rakes and shovels and other tools. Both are screwed to the pool deck to secure them in heavy winds.

We have also added a 20' long, 8' x 8.6' 4500lb steel container as a storm-proof storage building. The delivery people we unable to place it on the concrete piers but a neighbor got it close and will hopefully return soon to lift and set it (no promises). It also needs to be whitewashed and no telling if/when we will get to that!

We hope to build a well house soon as County regs forced us to locate things so that the well tank and RainSoft equipment is out front. We have fenced a garden area near the house and are preparing the soil for planting. Depending on the rapidity of sale we may or may not have the time to actually plant much.

The new owner acquires a highly flexible structure that does not have to be used 100% residential or at all residential.

Other than the ridge beam supports all of the interior walls may be removed. The 20x30 Great Room could be reduced and a garage framed and a garage door cut into the front wall!

The ridge beam is about 13 feet high and the outer walls 10 feet high. The building could be used for a conference center, church, warehouse, barn, or even a refrigerated building -- the panels were adapted from a commercial design which includes use in refrigerated warehouses! The ten foot outer walls were selected so that following the slope of the roof one may add porches and rooms to the outside and not have to deal with dormer-type complications to get the extension roof high enough.

The well is a real strong and clean one. According to the County water testing lab "You could sell your water as it is as pure and balanced as anything on the store shelves."(paraphrased from memory)

We expanded the septic field as required by the County. We have added over 1,000 feet of fences and a variety of gates to limit uninvited "guests", mostly the pet goat and the horses next door! We actually don't mind them enjoying the grass and green leaves here but don't have a good way to contain them once in the yard! We also needed to keep our young children to less than the full 10 acres.
