rigid foam



On Friday we started putting rigid foam insulation on the ground to insulate the slab. Today there was an inch of snow on the worksite when we arrived. Is this going to be a long, cold Winter?

Plumbing inspection


Plumbing is all stubbed out and we filled in the trenches. We passed our rough plumbing inspection. Note the picture on the right, we got snow on the mountaintops last night. Time to get this place closed in.

Plumbing is stubbed out here. This is the view from the master bath looking North where the main line flows from the bedroom through the courtyard and catches the guest bathroom. The line on the right takes the greywater to the courtyard.

We do curves
