The pictures below show that, should we host an evening barbeque where people walk between the backyard and the garage, someone might mysteriously go missing... in our egress window well. Oops! We put the back door from the garage too close to the window well that extends out from the basement office.... At the moment, it is situated in a way that if you are not paying attention you could potentially walk out of our garage and fall into the window well. Not good! We met with our builder last Saturday to discuss this mishap and he is going to fix it. No problem. That is one reason it is so nice that we have the luxury to drive three miles across town to check on our house every day. This the first little fix that we've come across in our house. I'm sure it won't be the last, but we are pleased with the way our builder handled our request. Now we just have to stay on top of it to make sure it gets done.
You will also notice a picture of what looks like a miniature overgrown jungle running through our back yard. That is the dry creek that collects rain water from the fields and roads nearby.
It will remain dry most of the time. Only in the case of an extended period of heavy rains should it accumulate enough water to write home about. And, yes, our house sits higher than the creek. The developer of our subdivision will cut down the foliage and pour pea gravel over top of it in the future. I'm not sure exactly when that will happen. For now, we have our own little nature preserve to visit whenever we want.
