House Update—Minor Set Back

The City of Payson has decided (via a computer program) that our lot is a hillside lot. Hillside lots come with a list of restrictions such as replanting any plants that were disturbed during the excavation and building. Most of the things we were going to do anyway as we are trying to preserve the integrity of the land and impact it as little as possible. But there are some annoying things that we have to do such as putting a fence around the building site. This hillside business also means that we have to have our architect draw up additional plans that address the city's list for hillside lots.

We thought we would be submitting our completed plans to the city this week....not so. We continue to be patient but.......

We are heading out to Home Depot to get their take on a kitchen design for us. The folks in the Payson Home Depot are very helpful and knowledgable and there is no obligation to purchase your cabinets, counters, etc. from them.

Here are some photos from our walk at the park last night. We had rain, thunder and lighting last night. Cloudy and muggy today. It's a full moon so we are wondering if we can go to the golf course in the early morning hours to watch elk or coyotes???
