When we moved to Arizona we looked for a place to rent in the county of my employment. The choices were disappointing and as an emergency place to stay and continue our search after my job had started, we rented a single wide trailer. The next phase in home development was to order a manufacture built home delivered to Oracle. This solution met with numerous problems and after several years we were on the look for property in the Tucson area. This leads to our custom built home in the Alta Vista development. My wife, JoAnn and I contributed some special touched such as the front door pictured above. I used a fir frame with plywood panels on which Saguaro ribs were fastened. I chose to use a double door design with the right side locked in place except when wide items were moved in or out. People traffic used the left door which opened much like a single front door. I will be describing other aspects of this home in the future posts. The photo below was taken of the approach to the front entry from the driveway.
The front entrance is up these steps. through the gate and to the left.
