It has been a few days since our last update, but alot has been happening. Exciting, productive things. The plumbing and HVAC have been roughed-in and the electrician started working on Tuesday. The rate that Joe Hecke and his team have been working, they will probably be finished this week. We've gotten backfill in around the house and up to the garage. Our septic tank has been installed. We also got a second septic tank installed. Insert toilet humor here. (Side note, Milo loves the word toilet). The second septic tank will be our rainwater holding/collection tank. I'm very excited about this! All of our {future} gutters have been run to the tank and we will be able to use the rainwater to water our garden. We had discussed a large above ground cistern similar to the picture. I love the look of the galvanized cistern, but the second tank seemed to be an easy alternative and it is below ground. Picture is by Texas Metal Cisterns.
Next, we will prep the interior for the spray foam man to spray under the trusses for sound proofing and the 2' section of exterior wall where the trusses are. Soon after we hope to have drywall!
This weekend hopefully, the rest of the siding will go up and I'm in charge of priming the cedar battens. Joey, at Sherwin-Williams was a heap of help and I'm pretty sure I asked all the questions I possibly could muster. We will use an oil based primer on the cedar to seal them before we install and paint them with an acrylic based paint. I've got to call our rental place for scaffolding today. So, that is it in a nutshell.
