Building a Home in a
Brand New Community – What We Didn't Expect
We have moved in. We love our new house but we are now in a community-wide
limbo of development. Sure there has been some post-possession calming down for
us but the neighbourhood is one big bustling construction site.
Noise - There is So Much
going on!
The construction of other homes continues on in the
Riverstone Community. These guys start early! During the summer, with the kids
not having to get up early for school, we had hoped to sleep in a little but
not a chance with all the noise. We often hear big trucks rumbling by as early
as 7 AM. Excavators, bulldozers, Bobcats, dump trucks, delivery vehicles and
other large vehicles operating heavy equipment all day long. Supplies are being
delivered for building decks, screened-in rooms, backyard landscaping and pouring
of concrete driveways. Oh wait. That was us. We were no different. We have
contributed to that same kind of noise.
Dust – Dust – Dust
and Mop
Green grass is not just a decoration. Without grass there is
dust blowing everywhere. Remember the heat wave? Well, if we left the screen
windows open at night to cool the house down then next morning the floors felt
like grit. We had to dust, vacuum and mop every day.
Thinking Ahead –
Hooray Albi Riverstone!
One of the things that we like about the community is that
even though it is not finished by a long shot, there are already three small
parks within a two minute walk. So that is a good thing.
Riverstone is actually connected to Fish Creek National Park
via 145.6 hectares of environmental reserve. It is the second largest urban
park in Canada, nestled in and around, the scenic Bow River, amongst the trees
and plenty of wildlife. When completed, Riverstone will have 1,100 homes. It
won't be long before it really is paradise and of course, a very good
investment. If you are interested give me a call: 403-680-4479
