Rad's House Stuff
|
|
This house has been a project that was conceived by Odessi and I a few years ago. We visited and have consulted with property owners, sales reps, realtors, before we ended up buying a brand new spankin home at Standard Pacific Homes in American Canyon. The development area is called Marsanne and it is currently the community with the largest homes within the Standard Pacific Homes (SPH) community in American Canyon. There are two other communities called Lucera and Bergamo that are a step down from the Marsanne homes but after a year a new and final set of homes will arise that will top all 3 - Dolcetto. Anyhow, here are some guides (for 1st time new home buyers) and pics of our house as it is being built.

The Upgrades and Mods
These are upgrades and mods done to the house that aren't so much furnitiure or paintings around the house but so much like landscaping, concrete, window coverings, construction, closets, alarms, etc. Read up on some research we've done and the experience we've had with our vendors.
