another hurdle behind us
it was low 80's and sunny today. GREAT weather! winter in central texas.
there were so many trucks and cars on site today that the street seemed clogged. it's great to see so much happening for the $ being spent. somebody should create a construction clock that goes by thousand dollar increments. it would've been spinning like mad today!
retaining wall crew was getting the rebar ready and making trenches, piping to allow for utilities to get through the wall.
Tom from A.M.S. showed up with his driller. each orange flag seen here represents a 220 ft pipe straight into the earth where I will harness its power to keep my family comfortable (geothermal heat pump).
the smile on Jeff's face is due to this being the LAST box. just as he announced this moment, the inspector pulled into the driveway.
here you see the beginning of a 2+ hr inspection. there was a LOT of finger pointing etc. in the end he gave us the go ahead to start sheetrock and issued a short list of things he wanted to see done before sheetrock completion.
concrete crew is making real progress on the driveway.
shannon is testing the placement of the new toilet pipe. every thing seems to be aligned correctly.
parting shot. ford f250/f350 powerstroke seems to be the truck of choice.
