On October 25th, 2007 demolition began on our property in
Boulder. A year-long process of designing, redesigning, redesigning and working
with the wrong "builder", then finally working with a fantastic architect and
selecting an experienced and professional builder has culminated in the
beginning of construction. We plan to post photos as we continue with the
process so keep watching!
