This weekend the weather has been great! On Friday the only work that was done on the house was the framers were back to put some boards up along the roof line that they needed before the brick can be put on. We had been told that they might start bricking it this weekend but that didn't happen.
On Saturday we had some gravel delivered. On one of our first invoices from the builder we were charged $830 for 2 loads of 3/4" gravel. Those loads were only 10 tons each. Granted this was over the holidays but it was still very expensive. Rod called around and found a company that would deliver 22 ton loads of 3/4" gravel for $430 - 1/2 price!!
We also did a little work on the driveway turn around near the road going to the barn and pulled some logs from the creek. But basically that was all the work we did on Saturday.
On Sunday we cleaned up the building site some more. Just sweeping up the trash in the house, etc. Here are some random pictures of the house and some of the progress that has been happening.
Here is my laundry room. As you can see they are doing the plumbing with the new PEX pipe. Rod used this to run the water to the campers and he really liked it. MUCH easier than the days of sweating pipes.
The electrician has also been working. Here is a picture of an electrical outlet in an exterior wall. They use a tool called a hot knife to cut the ICF in order to create channels for the electrical wire to run.
