After closing on the lot in December 2006, we tried to make it up to PS as often as possible; mainly on weekends, although J.D. would sometimes just go up for the day during the week. Early in 2007, we contracted with DirectBuild out of Parker, CO to provide consulting and resources to allow J.D. to be the general contractor on the project. DirectBuild put them in touch with a couple of architects and we ended up choosing Jim Bock of Bella Concepts (Manitou Springs). Jim came up with a great plan, but it's taken nearly a year and half, and we still have some "tweeking" to do (good thing we aren't in too much of a hurry!).
The weekends we spent at the new home site during this time was great. We'd park the RoadTrek in front of the lot (which is the last one on E. Ouray Ave.) and let the dogs run free. There is a natural foot path on the east side of the lot and we started lining it with river rock (which there is no shortage of on the property). We also built a little bench of flagstone and cottonwood logs from which they could ponder the magnificence of Mt. Shavano. J.D. brought in some pea gravel for around the bench and it was soon christened "The Sanctuary"
