… is definitely not on fire. It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update, and it seems like it’s been a while since anything with our home has been done. That’s not the reality, at all. We’re just impatient, living in a crappy Invitation Homes rental house and really want to get into our…

Lights! Camera! Concrete!
This is the most excited we’ve been in a long time. It was finally here… foundation day! Our trusted Starkey Ranch Real Estate Adviser Annie Rocks of The Rocks Team had told us all along that this was going to be one of the coolest moments of the build and she was right! The concrete…
Foundation Work Has Started
Our new Key West II by Homes by WestBay at Anclote Reserve in Starkey Ranch is really in full swing. Lots of preparation type work for the foundation taking place right now. All of that work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the week and our 3rd party inspection service, Waypoint Property…
It Has Begun!
Homes by WestBay is on top of their game right now. Our Key West II in Anclote Reserve at Starkey Ranch is getting ready to take off. The permit box is up. The blueprints are on site. The lot has been cleared. Let’s get this show on the row!
Anclote Reserve Drone Footage
Here are some videos we took of the Homes by WestBay, Anclote Reserve at Starkey Ranch Community on September 7, 2019. These were taken from our DJI Phantom Pro 3 drone that we’ve had for a few years. We haven’t had it out in quite a while so we were quite pleased that it still…
Pre-Construction Meeting!
More meetings! I will tell you that while the number of meetings can seem a bit crazy, we are actually really impressed with the level of detail that Homes by WestBay puts into the process before construction actually kicks off. Our design center consultant, Tricia, told us about how “process heavy” that Homes by WestBay…
We’re there! The Design Center Appointment!
We made it! Today was our final and formal appointment with the design center team that would help us put the finishing touches on our new Key West II home. Jeff and Annie Rocks (our amazing Realtor, Interior Designer, and overall wonder woman) had spent many hours, over many visits, going through all of the…
Let’s Talk Technology. Have you heard of CAT6?
We met with Synergy Florida today to start working out our technology and other low voltage needs. It was an interesting meeting and one we had been thinking about for quite some time. This meeting was to plan where we wanted our network cabling, our demarc, cameras, alarm systems and just about anything the electrician…
Granite, Quartz and Vinyl Plank Floors
The amount of options for countertops is mind boggling. Do we go with Quartz? Do we go with Granite? Why can’t we just use plywood and paint it a really pretty color? It would save a ton of money. That’s not a real argument, at least not one I’ve said to Jeff. We really liked…
Level What? That’s An Upgrade? I Quit!
Today was my first time visiting the WestBay Homes Design Center. They have an “open house” a few times per month for new customers to attend so that they can get a feel for what they want in their new home. Jeff has already been there with Annie a few times and so they were…
