16-22 March 2026 We have toilets!

 Big progress this week! They laid out the forms for the driveway, sidewalks, secondary drive entrance and shop pad under David’s direction. They poured the concrete on Thursday. We will not be able to park the wanderer out there until after the 2nd of April. But the concrete came out looking great. The amount of concrete required was over the allowance by $7,600 and they also informed us there was a rock charge for the septic system of $2,450. Ouch! The electricians mostly finished up with fixing a light in the shop and putting the cabinet lights in the upper cabinets. There was a short dispute about whether those lights were covered, but it worked out in our favor. The drywall guy, Edgar, came out and did a fantastic job of fixing the drywall. You can’t even see where the holes had been before. Adrian, the tile guy, came out and finished the tile installation and it came out great. We got our fiber optic internet hooked up and running so we have basic WIFI in the house. David finished putting the RJ45 connectors on all his Ethernet cables and got them all to check out. We had one concern with the cable to the back porch camera but that turned out to be a labeling error. Most of the appliances were installed except the stove vent. We have ice cubes in our refrigerator! The plumber came out and installed all the inside faucets and toilets but still did not hook up the water to the shop. They are telling us the interior of the house will be done by Friday of next week. We will see.
