The house site has looked about the same now for what seems like a long time. Jess and Ben have been working hard, but the stuff they have been doing hasn't changed the overall appearance of things much. If you look hard enough you'll notice the plumbing is almost complete, the radiant floor heating system is about 90% installed, and a whole bunch of other stuff is done. But it doesn't quite jump out at you. This week that changed a bit. With two excavators, a front-loader, and a bulldozer on site, things change in a hurry. They have been grading out the site around the house and working on the septic mound. They even took a break to move a huge rock up from the septic mound site to its new home next to the driveway. We also bought the shower/tub units today for the bathrooms, and they are in place in the house. Jess says we're a month out from sheetrock. Here are some photos of the latest from 199.
Jess framed a wall around the stairs which will get sheetrocked.

Crazy amount of plumbing stuff, looks confusing to me.

The excavators have been spreading out the big piles of dirt around the house.

That's the septic mound, it's going to be 120 feet long when it's complete. Jess says they trucked in sand all day today.
And then there are the dog photos....
