It took us five times of flood-irrigating before we got the major bugs worked out (e.g. gopher-hole berm breaches, flooding septic systems, flooding the neighbors, etc.) but it works well now. I just need to change out the ports so it is easier to close the eyes when the ditch is finished.
I realize we haven't posted completed pictures of the house - mainly because it isn't totally completed.
I have been busy finishing the bonus space for relatives who need a place to stay, so I have put off less-important tasks (master-bath tub, front-yard grading, etc.).
We love our house though. Sure there are things we might change if we could go back, but given the restrictions of the lot and what we wanted in our home, it is as good as we could make it. If I would have known how great it feels to live in "our home", I may have been less discouraged during those long nights working on the house. But I bet that it was because of those trials that we feel such satisfaction in our home.

| We put in some trees in front, but the grass and weeds aren't our doing. I still have to grade the front yard. The backyard grass looks great! |
