Oh what a year!

We hoped to start construction this time last year, but here's what's been happening since then:

 Winter View of Lot

• We had an energy analysis done by Ambient Energy,  to ensure that the envelope of the home will be as energy efficient as indicated by the design. 
• We interviewed several builders to be sure that the design would fit our budget, and chose Richard Ludwig, Environmental Homes of Colorado LLC.
• We decided that the awesome first design that Toby created would be considerably over our budget and worked with him to redesign the home.  After several tries, we finally got a design that fit our needs and our budget.
• We spent several months getting neighbor approval (we are building on one of 5 lots that are governed by an Architectural Control Committee comprised of the owners of those lots).
• We spent a couple of months getting city permits.
