Dealing with High Winds in Daybreak

We had quite the storm blow through Daybreak this week. In fact some areas had wind gusts over 60 MPH! This could pose a problem for some Daybreak residents with loose items on their porch. Everybody loves their Daybreak porch, but when the wind comes what can you do to keep your couch pillows from blowing away? A friend of mine showed my a neat little trick that they use to keep their pillow on their porch where they belong.

One of the first things people mention to me about Daybreak is the beautiful porches. The porch is an extension of the home out into the beautiful community of Daybreak. It is a place to customize your living space. It is also a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Daybreak’s views and landscape. But for that you need a…

New Daybreak Utah Lakeside Village Opening

Daybreak had its ‘soft opening,’ of Lakeside Village which is on the peninsula in Daybreak. The builders were working hard the night before to have layouts of their new floor plans in the new village so that all the special invitees could have a peek. They asked me to come out in my Gem car (golf cart) to help chauffeur people to the homes back and forth. Even though it rained right at 1pm there was still a huge turnout. People are excited to see what is happening in the new village. Pricing still wasn’t quite ready though. There will be homes from the $200′s up to 1 Million, so there is plenty of variety to choose from.
