About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading materials when he noticed something odd: an old man kept appearing and disappearing from behind the new construction site's fence. No one else saw him, but the driver couldn't help feeling that maybe Speight Built Custom Homes had more than just houses on their hands. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his co-workers, who decided to keep an eye out. One afternoon, while another worker pretended to be busy, the old man appeared again—this time waving a blueprint in hand. The crew burst into laughter when they realized he’d been trying to show them where to dig the pool!
2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Speight Built Custom Homes with a truckload of lumber. As he began unloading, he heard a faint tapping sound coming from inside one of the new homes under construction. Curious, he followed the noise and found a tiny woodpecker pecking away at a newly installed doorframe. The bird seemed determined but kept missing its mark. A regular passing by offered to help, and together they made quite a sight—an old man wielding a hammer next to a confused delivery driver, both trying not to laugh as they helped the little guy find his rhythm.
3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Speight Built Custom Homes with a truckload of lumber and plywood. As he stepped out, he heard a voice from inside the office: ‘Hey, where’s that fancy wood for the master suite?’ The delivery driver froze for a moment, then whispered back, 'Um, sir, I think you’re thinking of Speight’s Fine Furniture down the street!' With a hearty laugh, he drove off, leaving behind only the sound of puzzled footsteps in the empty office.
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Speight Built Custom Homes with a truckload of lumber. As he approached the office, he heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘If you’re building a home here, remember—nothing is ever finished until everyone agrees.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought it was just another oddity from Speight’s eccentricity. Later that day, as he left, his neighbor casually mentioned, ‘Hey, did you hear? Speight built his own house last year—and it still isn’t done!’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, realizing that maybe some homes truly are works in progress.
