This post is dedicated to all the folks who live toward the northeast side of Centerpointe Section 9,
none of whom could
possibly be sleeping right now. Promptly at 6:37 a.m., the first six ready-mix trucks arrived...

...and the slab pouring began.

People ask me frequently if I mind living in a perpetual construction zone. With about 14 houses under simultaneous construction, Section 9 often feels a bit like Beirut on a bad day.
About 95% of the time, my answer to that question (do I mind living in the middle of this) is "no". This is the deal we all signed up for when we decided to commission our own houses to be built. The months (over a year, in our case, as we were in this section first) of the thunderous racket and the blowing dust and the strewn trash and congestion and the running of the right-of-way gauntlet in and out of the neighborhood are all part of it.
But every once in a while, when there is an unearthly shattering of the dawn, we all look forward to the day when Section 9 is finally completed, and the world will once again be relatively still.
