A great suprise!

Dwayne has successfully hooked the main water line into the house! We were suprised at that fact alone but another great suprise was the amount of water pressure. When Dwayne turned the water on, it shot at least twenty feet across the basement!




The siding crew came back and finished up the siding this week. We are really happy with the way it has turned out and the crew was great!!!

A change of plans!

I haven't told Dwayne but I've actually decided that I no longer want a new house and prefer to stay where we are! NOT A CHANCE! (Just joking honey! Have you come to yet?) We just decided to relocate our washer and dryer so he had to move the washer/dryer hook-up. Dwayne doing the plumbing has come in very handy!!!


The septic tank is in, has been inspected (one of our only two required inspections!) and we passed so this will soon be covered up! YEAH!


The front yard ditches have been smoothed out, so for the first time we can actually kind of "see" what our front yard will be like!

Grey water

We found out that we had to run a separate line for our "grey water" or water that doesn't come from a bathroom. Dwayne had to do some re-routing but got the grey line out from the front of the house and down to the lateral lines.



I just like this view of the house and especially the rockers on the front porch! Can't wait to put them to regular use!

Septic

I was a little concerned when I got out to the house and saw this huge hole- I was wondering if Dwayne had had enough and was preparing to end it all (somewhat like his Treo that he accidently dropped off the top of the roof!) I was relieved to learn that this was only the hole for the septic tank!





No, Jonathan, we don't have huge moles down the hill- it's only the field for the lateral lines.




The 400ft of septic line that runs to the lateral lines.




Lines coming off the distribution box to the lateral lines.


The lateral lines did look pretty cool

More ditches!

Just when I thought things were getting better as far as dirt piles and ditches, I went out and found three more ditches! Right now you cannot drive up to the house unless you come in from the neighbors driveway at the bottom of the hill. I guess it always gets a little worse before it gets better! Dwayne is working on getting water and electric into the house.
This is where the main water line will come into the house.


Since Dwayne is running his own plumbing lines he decided to run an auxillary line out to the garden area.


This is the ditch where the electric lines will come into the house.
