west gable window going in

Yesterday, Les put in the window in the west gable ... note the firm footing for the scaffold. The upper, curved part of the window frame is lighter color, because it has not been oiled yet.

(I'll post another picture after the scaffold has been removed and the septic tanks have been covered.)

plumbing/framing & insulation

made some big progress today ... yesterday, we called to schedule a plumbing/framing re-inspection for today ... we just passed those and also passed the insulation inspection!

the next inspection will be for the reinforcement in the footer for the masonry stove

view from the crawl space

Most of the work I've done (wiring and plumbing) is down in the crawl space, so I thought I would treat you all to some of the scenery from down there.

wiring

here's the power panel (i.e. "fuse box") and the wire right under the panel where it comes thru the floor from the crawl space where most of the wire for the house is run

the wires which carry power to the panel are not yet in place (yet another thing waiting on me - I need to dig a trench, put in conduit, pull the wire thru and hook it up)
