Another week another trek to the house. We are rapidly approaching the completion of the house. Most of the major stuff (expect the fence and appliances) has been completed and all that is left is the thousands of little things that need to be fixed.
I do have to say that we are lucky. All the peeps we met so far are super nice and friendly. It’s like we are moving into some modern version of Mr. Roger’s neighborhood without the puppets. Let me give you a few examples of what I mean.
We were invited to a neighbor’s house for a shindig but could not make it because we were just too busy with work and ironically house stuff. We are not in the hood yet and we are getting party invites! They also have been sending us updates on our house’s progress (they can see our house from their windows) since we can’t be out there every day.
Yesterday while measuring windows for window treatments (OMG we have lots of windows) we met two other neighbors who happen to have gone to said shindig and they were really nice. Within twenty mins (we chatted for maybe an hour) we got some good decorating advice and an invite to check out their house. How many people do you know that will invite a stranger (and we are strange) to your house after just meeting?
That is the kinda folks that are living in Agave. I can think of more examples but you get the idea. That is enough of me babbling, I know you really came to this blog for the pictures so without any further ado here is this week’s crop of photos:
This is about a 5 Foot wide and 7.5 foot tall window the faces the back yard from the living room.
The front stairs by the sidewalk with the neighbors houses in the background.
Here are the concrete pads leading to the front door with the brand spanking new landscaping.

The staggered walkway pads look great. Very fun. Looking forward to you two joining the hood. Be sure to stop by and say hi next time you're out!
You are alive! Yea, the walkway does look cool. We are still a little shy about stopping by without asking first. We do a drive by waving in your general direction when we are out there though.
it's such a shame that with all you DO have that you couldn't splurge for indoor plumbing and still have that portopotty out front that you can see in the photo.
Maybe next year, right? Just like we keep saying about putting together our backyard landscaping plan.
heh heh heh
p.s. There are some nights when we come home late, like on Halloween after a wine bar and party, that Alex, me, and our friends could have really used a staggered walkway to better reach our front door.
Lucky.
Just sayin
