Custom Home

We received a call from our architect yesterday afternoon!  He will have a new conceptual presentation of our estate home that we plan to build in Kerrville Texas available for us to review next week.  We took a long hard look at our plans for our dream home and decided that 2 stories just did not fit.  If/when I get old I don't want to deal with steps and so we totally redid our concept and are now going with a single floor layout.

We also did not want to deal with a crush of humanity anywhere near the I-95/I-75 corridors so we staked out our little piece of Paradise here. When we first returned to the US we lived in Northern Virginia.  We very quickly decided that this part of the county was not for us.  We enjoyed a lot of the things that the area had to offer but not the traffic and in some cases the attitude!  So, on one of our several road trips, we drove through the Texas Hill County and the rest is history. 

We've been fortunate to live all over the country, all over the world and have always had the dream of building a custom home.  That dream is nearing realization as Mickey will present his plan to us on Tuesday using gotopc.  This is interesting in itself since Mickey is about my age and is using state of the art CAD and current technology to design dream homes in the Hill Country.   We've seen many of the homes he has designed and they are awesome.  More later!

  1. Yep... stairs can be a bear as one get grey (er)
    In the future a ranch is the only option for us as well. Since we got home the stairs here have been playing havoc with the knee.
