Groundbreaking Day
How’s this for BUYcotting Arizona? Today is the first official day of construction of our new home. Our builder snapped this (clickable) image of the first scoop of earth for the foundation trench. We hope that in about 120 days we can move in.
We got a lot of business done over the past week and a half. Most importantly, we registered both of our vehicles with ADOT MVD. We’re waiting to get our custom license plates, but they issued a new standard plate for each of us to use while waiting.
As for firearms and shooting, we both have been exercising our Constitutional Carry while on this side of the border but won’t be going to the range until the weather cools off a bit. We will get back to guns more as we settle in to the new home.

Just wonder how close to the 120 days they’ll come…..

Dunno - but with this contractor, I have very good confidence. Most of any delays will come form us making mods to the original contract.

Congratulations! I do share some trepidation about actually being able to move in by that deadline, but if you can, more power to you.
Did you talk to the builder about an in-floor safe (I ask as it is already too late to do a darned thing…)?

We did talk about a safe. We’re going to have them bolt a stand up cabinet safe to the concrete in the master bedroom’s walk-in closet.
