Alan has been very busy digging the trenches for the geothermal system. We need 4 trenches that are 5 feet deep and 225 feet long. For the past two weeks Alan has been at the house on the weekends from 8AM to 8 or 9PM and during the week from 5.30PM to 9PM digging away. He has almost finished 3 of the 4 trenches. The builder will finish the last one for us this week and put the pipe down and cover them up. It will be nice to see a flat backyard again! It's a little treacherous walking around back there.
Also, earlier this month Alan also installed the central vacuum piping and outlets and the wiring for the whole house stereo. He has been very, very busy! PS: I helped with the central vacuum...I am an expert gluer!
This weekend they also started installing the brick on the house. We are so happy with how it looks...the red brick is so classic!
We also had the wiring run for the alarm system this week and insulation will be put in starting tomorrow. Drywall should be coming soon! I have also finalized the cabinets and am working towards finalizing the granite and tile. Once that is done I really need to buckle down and get the lighting and paint colors figured out. Ooohhh, also the doors finally have arrived! I don't have a picture, but the side porch door is installed and hopefully the rest will be installed this week.
Now that I look at the above picture I see the meter on the side of the house. I think that is an excellent place for a well planted shrub!
All for now! I will update soon. 'til then...
