Random Details

Yesterday as I posted a picture of the Panda Express slab, I said that The Mister was expecting even more exciting news. He was told that the framing of Panda would happen today. This is more exciting because it's so obviously a visual change. When engineering or landscaping plans are being drawn up, it is very much work and progress, but nobody sees it, except The Sixth Man. When a building is framed, it feels more like real progress. So keep an eye on the corner of Higley and Elliot.

Other random details include:

Lighting on the southeast corner of Higley and Elliot
I have posted before on the reason the palms and bollards on this corner have not yet been lit, namely that the wrong pedestal for the electric box was ordered, and the correct one was backordered. The elusive pedestal has arrived, and has been installed. Now it is only a matter of getting the wires hooked up properly (speaking in layman's terms), and, of course, there have been some problems doing that. But I have hope!

Higley Estates
This may not mean much to most of us, but to the Higley Estates residents, the arrival of the tables and trash cans at the ramadas are very welcome:




The overseeding of the rye is just happening because we wanted to let the bermuda get very established before the overseeding process. When the rye comes up, this is going to be a beautiful view.

Highland Groves
There are many many curbs and gutters now; and The Mister tells me there is plenty of AB as well. Yes, I had to ask: it stands for aggregate base, and it's the gravel stuff that goes under the paved roads. Soon, the new residents will be able to go look at their house without having to wash their car afterward.

Ashton Woods is selling homes now. They have actually lowered the prices on their smaller product to reflect the difference between a larger back yard and a smaller back yard.
