Week #5 Update

The PM said our HVAC and plumbing is complete and the electric is about 1/2 way done.  However it looks as though some of the HVAC pipes are still not connected so I imagine the contractor will have to come out one more time to finish up.  We discovered that we actually have a two-zone heating/cooling system, which was a pleasant surprise since our SR specifically told us it was only one. 

HVAC system.  Two zones.  Woohoo!

50 gallon hot water heater... it's not the 75 gallon we have now, but I guess it will do :)

Washer/dryer hookups

One of the hose bibs.  They are both on the sides of the house.

The men checking out the electrical work.  I'm in the master bathroom looking into the master bedroom.  There's a junction box in the ceiling of the master bedroom near where we may eventually put a ceiling fan, so that's good news.

Grounding rods on the west side of the house.

Our septic tank and drain-field pieces have also been delivered and our septic and well locations have been staked out.  PM said the septic system should be installed this week.

Septic tank.  Greg is searching for poop.  haha.

Drain field units.  Basically our entire front lawn will be full of "liquid waste" a few feet down.  It's an effective system of waste removal, but kind of gross when you think about it!  Hopefully it will help our grass grow.  :)

Pipes from the house out to where the septic tank will be.

Siding is supposed to begin this week and our pre-drywall meeting will either be tomorrow or Monday!

Tubs and Ducts

Our duct work and plumbing has begun and both of our bathtubs have been installed!  

Some stuff being stored in the garage.

The triangle of crap!

Assuming these are our water lines for the kitchen.

Water lines coming from the master bathroom above.  I guess they will run them through the walls since I don't think we need water in the family room.

Upstairs hall bathtub and water and sewer lines.  Our sinks and toilet will be along that left wall.

Triangle of crap on the 2nd floor.

Duct-o-pus in the 2nd floor ceiling.

My center for relaxation!!  (Shower on the left, soaking tub on the right)

I thought the PVC was the sewer/septic pipe, but I'm not sure why that would need to go out the roof.  ???

Water/sewer lines for our master bath sinks.

Close-up of my tub!  Woohoo!

This thing still perplexes me.  Looks pretty nasty.  I thought it was a test well, but what are all of the corrugated pipes going into it?

Basement windows installed!  

Lots of PVC joints!
