Our Future Home is Being Framed

After skiing on Sunday we cruised by our future home to see how it was coming along and to take some pics of it. The wind was howling with yet another snow storm rocking in over the mountains so the entire structure was leaning slightly to the right. Looks pretty scarey but I'm sure they'll straighten it out all right. As can be seen in the picture, there isn't a lot of space between the homes. This is something that unfortunately has become all too common in the more affordable Reno homes on the south side of the city. We looked at homes with larger lots and the prices jump 200 grand easily. Also, as can be seen in the first picture, the house to our right is two story and will be looking right over our home. The good news is that the majority of the home is lined up with our garage and not the main part of the home so they won't be looking down into our home directly. Also leaves 1/2 our home exposed to the light which will be really nice in the winter. Only ten feet between the homes. Tight! I know Debra would have liked a home on better land as far as space and location, but with the prices the way they are right now in Reno and Carson (at least in the areas we want to live in) it wasn't possible at this time. We're hoping we can sell in three to five years and move up to a larger lot somewhere. Anyway, here's the pics. First shot is Debra standing in the garage with the walls leaning to the right. Note the two story home on the left. Second shot is Debra walking in the garage. It is a 3 car tandem which will provide us with a great workspace and bike storage area. The 3rd shot is the view from the master bedroom. There will be a fence 25 foot out and more homes where you can see the pads being put in. We should still be able to see the mountains though. Last shot is Debra standing in the living room. Lots of big windows along this side.
