Very hot, very busy

I took a vacation day on Friday, to rock-out as much work as possible during the weekend. The weather was dry (good) but hot (bad) - again. All week long... mid 70s... Fri, Sat, Sun, 85-95 deg! Then comfortably back down to the mid 70s on Monday. Go figure.

I was able to install both the outside lights by the front door and the outside lights by the back door slider.

Exterior lights installed - looking good

The water tank was delivered last week on Wednesday. Saturday morning, I had the pleasure of "cleaning-out" the inside of the tank. This is a creepy job... I had to climb down into an 1850 gallon solid concrete bunker. After it was cleaned, it needed to have the riser set-in-place and cemented down to fill the seal gap.

Fresh cement around the riser

Water line and electrical conduit to water tank

After hand-digging a few feet of trench to the foundation, we ran the water lines from the tank into the cottage crawlspace and installed electrical conduit for a future outlet on the water tank. Next, using the Bobcat, we covered the pipes with gravel and back-filled the trench.

Got a lot of other stuff done that I didn't get to capture with photos including:

• 99% of the interior wall insulation
• Attic vent baffles
• Pex plumbing rough-in (pex manifold looks awesome, photos forthcoming)
• 90% of the bath fan vent ducts
• 50% of the doorway cripples
