Bertha’s Big Hole

This last week has been a fun one for all the dudes.  They got to play with big machines and roll around in the mud.  We needed to dig a rather large hole to the East of the house, just behind the bay, to connect the sewer to the outside lines.

Derek was actually willing to take turns with Granger….a little.

You can just barely see where the old cast is and where the new pipe needs to go.

We have been really grateful for all the help we have had from Chris. This would not be going anywhere near as smoothly with out his smarts.

On the inside of the house much has changed as well.  Pretty close to all the sewage lines have been run with only a little here and there to finish.

Shower pan drains are going in for our master bath and also for the main floor bath.

Kalyb has also been back in to help us with his meticulous craftsmanship.  He has been re-treading the front stairwell and putting the boards in that the drywall will butt up to.  This helps to create a really beautiful finish and also reduces the amount of work you have to do while mudding the drywall.  Kalyb has always been a meticulous craftsman.  If you don’t remember, he’s also the one that built the metal straps “corbels” that hold the beam in place.

Delivery day for all our plumbing fixtures was a blast for the kids.  We even built a home for Granger’s friend Gage. Now he has a place to stay when he wants to visit.
