… then 4024…<\/p>\n
Probably a cool morning, warming later, and not so cold at night.\u00a0 It got pretty hot in the sun yesterday by mid afternoon.\u00a0 Got to 78F in the house with the doors open.\u00a0 I broke a sweat.\u00a0 ‘Course, long sleeves and long pants…<\/p>\n
Crew got a lot of work done yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 They leveled the house.\u00a0 Nothing high tech, except the level which was a base station and a sensor connected by a cable.\u00a0 Not sure of the tech, but it has a digital display.\u00a0 Made it easy to measure the floors.\u00a0\u00a0 They used bottle jacks to lift the house.\u00a0\u00a0 5 or 6 of them pumping at the same time.\u00a0 Then they moved to different holes and did it again.\u00a0 They did it in a bunch of small lifts, with foam lifting the middle of the house in between.\u00a0 Very strange to see the massive chimney move upward by half inches.<\/p>\n
They got most of the piers secured, but have a couple to finish and some holes left to fill today.\u00a0\u00a0 They got the plumbing done, water service needs a bit of mortar and insulation, drain line is good.\u00a0 I’ve got the new service entrance connected to my new pex and old copper.\u00a0 When we abandon the copper, I’ll be able to easily reconfigure the connections since I made them at the water heater.\u00a0\u00a0 Feels like real progress is being made.<\/p>\n
Today I will get up in the attic and run the gas line.\u00a0\u00a0 I may also get the kitchen sink stubbed out with pex.\u00a0\u00a0 I just put valves on the ends of the run for yesterday.\u00a0 The crew will need me to move some dirt from the pile to fill holes, because I stole some of the sand to fill where the backfill settled around the septic tank. \u00a0 The rain really caused some settling.\u00a0 That should eat some of my time, running back and forth with the garden tractor and dump trailer.<\/p>\n
Since the females are at GS camp this weekend, I’m staying up here at least until Saturday night, or Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll keep working the list.\u00a0 And trying to catch a fish.<\/p>\n
Work some skills.\u00a0\u00a0 Stack some things.<\/p>\n
