Building our new home: from finding the location, creating the design, choosing the builder, to the building process. This journal chronicles our process, from end to end.

Winter Bridgewater Wonderland

The big snow arrived on Friday Jan. 22. A record 13" for that date, it was 1" shy of our average annual snowfall, and our first of the season. Saturday served up frightful wind (gusts up to 30 mph) and sub-freezing temps, so no one ventured out. However, by Sunday, skies were blue, and cabin fever was in full bloom. So, down the hill we careened (in the Jeep, of course) to the property, with Apple and Mac in tow. Here's the park in the spring, 10 weeks later.

Two videos:

  • Bridgewater Pavillion Park, at the entrance to our development, with its long shadows, bubbling creeks, and singing birds. All the lovely still photos in the video were the result of Merri's creativivity.

  • The lot an d Superior Walls in wintertime, complete with cameo appearances by Apple and Mac.
