Status of 3125 N 82nd. St.

We got the preliminary plot plan back from the survey team today. Our plan is to split the listing separating the acre to the East of the house. The house price with 1.2 acres will drop significantly and make it more in line with the price range for this area. I'll also list the acre lot separately which means we will, in effect, have three separate listings including the original listing.
I haven't had much interest in the last month so hopefully this new strategy of splitting the listing will help to get an offer on the house or the acre.

Century plant progress

3/28/07 The century plants are showing more progress. The broadleaf out back did grow a little more this week and the century plant out front about doubled in length in just one week!

Rough plumbing

3/28/07 Some of the rough plumbing in the master bath, laundry room and garage. The garage plumbing is for the hot water heater, water softener and utility tub. Notice the bright orange paint on the copper, that's to discourage theft of the copper. Salvage yards won't accept painted copper pipe especially this bright orange because they know it is stolen.

Pre stucco

3/28/07 Foam and wire being installed prior to stucco application. The photo from the front shows the pallets of roof tile. Weather permitting they should be applying stucco very soon.

Noontime

3/25/07 Right about noontime. This is the shade that I'll get on the patio around noon. As the afternoon sun moves West the patio gets quite a bit of sun. I'll be planting some trees for shade in the backyard. On the right is the present view of the Superstition's from the northeast corner of the house. As more houses fill in this view will be obstructed but it's not bad for now.

Ready for tile roof

3/25/07 Four views with the roof paper installed. (Click on photos)

Two's a pair!

3/20/07
We have a competition here. One of the century plants out front decided to bloom this Spring. This is just one week of growth and this one will take off growing a lot faster that the broad leaf out in the backyard. You can see that the broad leaf century is starting to mature but much more slowly.
