Front of the 1952 Adair Home
Well, here we are! The house is starting to come along and the framing of it is going faster then I thought. The trusses are not yet on, but hopefully tomorrow they will be up and going!
So far the process with Adair Homes here in Central Oregon has been awesome! I can't complain. Building a home can be so hard as there are many many many aspects that come along. Together, with Adair and their team of people we are able to make each step happen with little strife.
I did a LOT of research and I mean a lot of foot work when I shopped for a builder for this home. My husband and I have been through this process once before and we felt we needed to work with a builder who would give us the greatest value and quality for our money. It is not cheap to buy or build a house today..so we wanted to be sure we could work well together.
Adair was great about exposing their suppliers, which are all local name brands. We were also able to see several model homes and view the guts of the home all the way up to major upgrades. Importantly, the customer service is great. People answer their phones and they do call you back pretty quick.
Back side of the 1952 Adair Home
We were able to buy an acre in Deschutes River Woods for a much much more affordable price then on the "prime" west side of Bend. Although, we love the west side of Bend, we decided that we wanted space to have an organic garden and chickens...a few workshops so we can make things and room to just be free! It's very earthy out here. We don't have as many Bend Park and Rec ammenitys...but we also don't have to pay those taxes either. There are some great bike trails down the road and we are very close to the river as well.
The home we are building is shown here in this link: http://www.adairhomes.com/homes/plan/1952 The home will be the upgraded signature series. I think it's going to be a very nice home myself! I am truly grateful.
Although building is a lot of work, we decided to go this route because we did not want to have to find extra funds to remodel a lot of the older homes on larger lots that were in our price range. It ends up being a lot more affordable to build...and were helping to put people back to work in our community!
IN THE SHOP:
Mother's Necklace - Gold Letter Alphabet Charm Necklace
I have been adding a few new things to the shop...although not as much as I would like. With the house stuff and jewelry orders I have been keeping pretty busy. But, once I get moved in within the next 3 months...I can't wait to let it all out!
Gold is just beautiful. I wish it were not so crazy expensive!
Mother's Ring - Gold Engraved Birthstone Ring- Name Ring
Gold is also harder for me to photograph. I don't know why. Anyone have any tips? But this ring is so much more beautiful in real life... Setting flush set stones in the gold ring band was also a bit more challenging, but this ring came out great. Colored stones are softer then diamonds and gold is harder then silver..but it worked out!
Mother's Day is just around the corner folks! I better get busy now!
Thanks for stopping in...please check back as I update the progress of the new house and yup my new workshop! It's why were doing all of this!
