So, welcome to our new house! Sort of. This is the lot in Central Austin (a small neighborhood called Bryker Woods) that we're under contract on. You'll notice there is a house on our lot. There won't be for long. After we get preliminary plans drafted, close with the seller, and get a slew of permits approved...enter the demo crew. Or have you ever seen one of those houses on a flatbed truck on a highway? Maybe we'll go that route.
Either way, we're excited about having Mezger Homes build these Mezgers a home. Owen is excited about bulldozers and cement mixers and worker men he think are going to build him a bunk bed. (He was also mad when we told him we were going to meet with our architect because he said he wanted to design the house.) Rebecca is excited because there is a stray or neighbor cat we always see running around the backyard and she thinks its Hello Kitty. Kyle and I are excited about working with Luke to build a great home to (Lord willing) raise our family in, and be hospitable in. We're excited about our new neighborhood - with its eclectic mix of new and old houses, walkable streets, big trees, and on and on. We're also going to be neighbors with some of our bestest buddies - the Murrays - who are going through the same process we are about a block away. And yes, we're realistic (at least we think we are) about what a big undertaking this is. So we definitely have our freak-out moments. But this is something we've been wanting for a long time now, so we can't help but be excited too! Oh...and we're open to advice if you have any...
