Breaking Ground

It's finally here! We broke ground this week on our new home in the La Bon Vie neighborhood here in upper Lafayette. They should be pouring our slab on Tuesday and our builder says once the slab is poured we will be in the home within six months! We should be in before Christmas and maybe even before little Elsie Willow arrives! The attorney who handled the closing on our construction loan let us know our builder built his daughters home a couple of years ago and had her in within three months! That would be awesome! 

Our builder is Ali Malekian with AM Design Build and we have heard nothing but incredible things about him. It has been a pleasure going through the design phase with him and he has worked diligently to design the house we want within our budget. Kerry Emanis introduced us to Mr. Ali when we were looking at homes in the Couret Farms. He had just built a floor plan that we thought we might want to use in that neighborhood, but it didn't work out. However, we loved his work and when our lot became available in La Bon Vie we knew we wanted him to design and build our home. It has been a fun but challenging ordeal to get all our finishes, colors and materials picked out but we have it all selected and approved by our HOA. When it's completed it will look something like this...
