Construction, Construction, Construction

Well the household projects continue. This last week we had our whole side yard, driveway and front yard dug up as we replaced our water main, ran new water lines to the back yard and ran sewer from the addition to the sewer main out front. The previous owners of this house thought they knew plumbing but turns out they were clueless. Now we should be in great working order for many years to come. Yesterday we passed the city inspection so today all the trenches were filled in. Now it's all just dirt. Here are a couple of pictures. One shows what our front yard looks like now. The other shows our side yard where the new garage and my little office are going. Thus far besides the plumbing, we have finished the stem walls and it has now been graded. Next week they will poor the floors and the outside pads. As part of that they will fix the concrete in our driveway. So half the backyard looks beautiful and the other half looks like construction.

I'm also posting a picture of the BBQ. It's nearing completion but there's still a lot of final hookups to do. We are however able to use the grill now but it needs to get tuned just a little as it runs very hot.

I'll post some more construction satus pictures in a couple of weeks!
