How 'bout some deck!

Geothermal Trenching

A quick break in the weather was cause for celebration and 1200' of water piping! The HVAC contractor was finally able to trench in the loops for the geo system; and then it snowed 6 inches the next day. Talk about just in time.

Some fun wiring...

Here's the part where he inched his way across the 2 2x10s we spanned across the foyer opening to reach up to where the entryway light will be located (about 20' above the floor.) Needless to say, it was a little bouncy.

Retaining wall almost complete

We hurried to complete the retaining wall 14' out from the house so it could all be backfilled and leveled in time for the deck construction. We'll still have some followup work to taper the wall down so it looks a little nicer and not so staggered. Here's the ALMOST finished product:

Just what we want, more blocks.
