The house report

It's been a while since my last house report, but there continues to be slow, steady, mostly-forward progress. In my last report, I told you the septic had been installed. Well, shortly thereafter, it was uninstalled and reinstalled. Then, the dirt pad was put in place--not exactly perfectly, but with a little tweaking, it has become a nice place for our new house to sit. We also had dirt brought in for our driveway, sport court and front parking area. The electric poles have been set up, and the electricity is operational. This week, the plumber finished installing almost all of the necessary pipes and drains for the gas and water. And, the concrete people have dug all their trenches and laid some of their steel to reinforce the concrete, which should be poured by the end of next week, after a few adjustments have been made. Like last time, the pictures are not all that exciting, but they do show the progress, and they are helpful for us in keeping track of what's going on out there.
