Lots to Report

Well it has been a busy week with lots to report. Drywall is finished and looking good- window sills and misc. trim was all put in as well. Big props to Ryan who came and trimmed the tree by our power pole- we were told we could save 2-1/2 weeks for getting our electrical service if we trimmed our own trees- so Ryan, once again came to the rescue- big thanks. we patiently wait for the service for the whole block and several new power poles, including the 2 flanking our lot, to be installed. All that has to be done before we can be hooked up- apparently our part of town has "been seriously neglected for years". Worst case it could take 2 months, holy cow!!- i have been told they give very long lead times to cover their butts- we are crossing our fingers for sooner.
Gas line got put in yesterday without incident, thank you powers that be and we got tapped into the city sewer today, they had to dig up the street and close off our whole block. The guys on the crew were quite the characters and happily posed for my photos.
We also got the steel up for the carport- hopefully we will get the roof structure framed this weekend.
So we have had lots of activity this week and hope to keep us the progress- painters are supposed to start Monday!!!! we picked the middle color in photo 2- for the outside, all white on the inside for now.
Oh I almost forgot- i found out wednesday, that I have finally passed all of the 9 tests and fulfilled all the required work hours to become an official licensed architect!!! Baxter and I howled with excitement for a good 15 min.
