Quick update

I've discovered I'm not very good at this blogging thing.  What?  You want updates more frequently than a few times a year?  Since waiting until I have "free time" to blog hasn't been happening, I guess getting sick and not being able to function for any other purpose forces me to blog.  So this should bring you all up to date on our progress.

Chris has been working on attaching the plumbing pipes throughout the house

Our original plan did not include a sump pump.  The excessive rains this year have shown us that was a mistake!  Good thing Chris noticed before the concrete pad was poured!
 
This is the ceiling of the master bedroom, also the underside of the floor of the girls' room and upstairs bathroom

Some of our awesome friends loaned us their backhoe!

Chris used it to dig the trenches for drainage, well, electrical, and septic

Thankfully, he didn't find any rocks he couldn't handle

I think Chris enjoyed driving the Kubota
Making our way around was tricky for several days

Of course Zander needed to give it a whirl

And so did Phoenix

And Finnlee.  Notice the concentration on all their faces
Drainage trench.  See the puddle?
 
After laying the wire and pipes, Chris is now working on filling these trenches back in
