Update

Plumbing passed rough-in inspection, and electrical is almost completed. HVAC should start any day now, and the dirt has been moved to form what will become a retaining wall as soon as we can start building it.

Plumbing, Electric and Septic

the essentials of course -- water into and out of the house. Here's a shot of our electric box and meter location on the outside, and a shot of the lines going out to our very high tech septic system -- three tanks and a monitoring system that turns on a red light if something goes awry.

Progress but not much visible

I didn't realize it had really been more than a month since posting! We have made lots of progress but it doesn't make for interesting posts or pictures. The month of January was spent on interior framing, plumbing and electrical rough-in, finishing the south deck, and finding an hvac contractor interested in trying something new. Oh, and we did take a couple of days off to attend the Inauguration in Washington DC which was as amazing, exciting, and momentous as a thousand other people have reported. Here's a shot of us with the Shepard Fairey artwork on display at the National Portrait Gallery, me in front of the Capitol before the big day, and a shot of the Mall early that morning. Yes, it was very cold.
