Merry Christmas

We are off to Golden to celebrate Christmas with Zac and Jennie and Jeremy and Stephanie and Noah.

Wires




Dan has been helping the electrician with the wiring of the house. The inspector came by yesterday and passed the electrical rough-in. Yeah!

Blanket View


Yesterday we woke up to this "blanket" view of the valley. What a gorgeous day it was.

Roof



These pink balls are "tracks" from the roofers. This crew was good about cleaning up when they finished.

A&A Satellite



Luke and his helper, Nicole, from A & A Satellite came to install wiring for TV, Internet, telephone, and for other low voltage applications.

Blue Tag


The plumbing inspector came and gave us "The Blue Tag" which means that we can now get propane. The tank will be delivered next week, hopefully.

Soffit and Fascia



Four guys came today to install the soffit and fascia. They will be back tomorrow to finish their work.

Water Pressure Tank


The water pressure tank was installed in the utility room today.

Roofers



The first to arrive today, were the roofers, finally! They will finish up tomorrow.

Trucks


Trucks, trucks, trucks everywhere. There were 2 more in the back of the house. It was a beautiful day for working at Dilley. There were eleven people here at different times during the day.

Covering the Cement



We bought 4 X 8 sheets of hardboard to protect the cement floor, which will be stained after the drywall is put up. This is in the great room. After we fit them into place and taped them, some of them buckled, so we hope the extra weight will help them to straighten out.

Pulling Wires

Framed



The crew finished up the last of the framing and we are ready for the inspection.

Ready



All of the pipes or lines are in and we are ready for the next plumbing inspection.

Pipes



Pipes, pipes, and more pipes.

Boiler



This 95% efficiency boiler will provide all the hot water for the house, both for heating and domestic use.

Hot Water Tank


The utility room is starting to fill up. We now have a 40 gallon hot water tank.

Temporary workbench



The temporary workbench that Dan built today using his new toy, a nail gun, is located in the mudroom.

Boxes


Since our concrete will be stained, we spent today taping cardboard together to protect the floor.
