Building a Maracay Home

IT IS RESOLVED!!!

Well, mostly. We were in battle with Maracay/City of Phoenix - someone - we aren't entirely sure who but we were in battle over our backyard. Essentially we wanted to put our pool where it would take advantage of the view of the mountain. But there was a reveg block RIGHT there. So we thought, "Just move it". Apparently with the Government, it isn't that easy. I know, I know... you'd think I'd have a handle on how bureaucracy works. And Maracay wasn't thrilled to do the extra work that comes with arranging for a change in the permit. But they did. And the landscape company, Sunset, got it together and as a team we managed to have our backyard approved. We will get our pool where we want it. We are reveging the east side of the house (which is the the garbage cans were going to live... I guess now they will have a lovely desert landscape to ) to compensate. I think this mostly has to do with the fact our driveway is SOOOO long, it eats up a large portion of lot.

Now we have the pool people work out their plans with the super. And we get finalized on the landscape plan with Sunset, and it is done.

Oh, did I mention that the drywall is IN now? Insane!!!!
