Finally! Tomorrow is the big day for our house. The foundation gets poured and the real work of building the house begins. They will bring in the pump trucks at 5:30am, then the concrete will start at 6 am and they should finish by 9 am or so. The concrete guys will float the floors and get everything smooth. Then it’s a 7 day wait for the concrete to cure. Once that’s done, then the forms are removed, and the dirt is filled in around the outside. Then the walls are put up and the real fun begins.
I had an induction loop put in on the gate today so the cars inside the property can get out without a clicker. I’ll add a timer after the construction is done and things will be sorta back to normal. In the process they fence guys cut the internet cable again. No fault of theirs as the internet cable was poorly placed when it was trenched. Century Link is supposed to come out tomorrow and repair and trench the cable again. I’ll make sure they put it where it won’t get cut again. And we’ll mark it, so it doesn’t get clobbered when we run power and water!
On a lessor note, Lauren left today so the place was pretty quiet. We’ll see her next month, so that will be special. I do miss her and the grandkids. I’ll have to make a trip to Seattle to hang with the G-kids. We did wine tasting yesterday with Lauren and friends. We joined a winery, but I’m not convinced that we’ll stay with them as their business model is very different that Washington. They do monthly releases, not seasonal and theirs little talk about the wines. They also don’t waive tasting fees for members or if you buy wine. Just not a good model based on our Washington experiences.
Plates for the Can-Am arrived today, so now the Can-Am is both off-road and on-road legal. I put in the lighted whips today. Lots of guess work on how to wire it as the instructions sucked, but the lights work great. Now I need to figure out how to link them with the brake, turn and stop lights. We’ll get them linked to bluetooth so they can blink to the music. I did order some day-whips so that we can use the flags I ordered during the day and the lighted whips in the evening and night. I still need to get a flood light for the front of the vehicle to light up the trails better.
Not much else today as it was laundry day, so that takes up most of the morning and part of the afternoon. I did move my appointment with the appliance rep to Friday as today was just busy with laundry and putting in the lighted whips.
Early start tomorrow, so I’m going to wrap this up. I’ll take pictures of the concrete work and maybe even fly the drone to get some pictures from above.
Take care and rest tonight.
