Busy Busy

Hey all,

It's been a busy week around here. Last saturday Leslie, Abrahm and Dad all arrived and after a bit of relaxation (required to let the concrete set) everyone went to work on monday picking up lumber and then beginning the beam installation. Things went quite smoothly with the beams and we were done in a couple of days. Very gratifying after the long process of foundation prep.
We have water at the site which we sampled and I'm happy to report is quite tasty.
Up next was wiring, insulation, and plumbing. All of which need to be done before the floor will be installed. I'm waiting for some quotes from plumbers at the moment. The inspector said that it is possible to do it yourself, but the codes have changed fairly recently and have of course become more complicated. So we decided that it would be best to hire someone to do it instead of having to fix things multiple times.
Leslie, Abrahm, and dad left today which was hard. Originally I had planned to head back with them, but because of delays in the yurt shipment, and the fact that we're not as far along as hoped I will be here for another couple of weeks. So it's back to it tomorrow minus a few helpers, but we'll keep plugging away.
I haven't posted for a while because Abrahm was sleeping in the room with the computer and he was in bed most days before we got home from the site. I'll try to do a little better again now that he's back in MN. I'll post some pictures again tomorrow. Would have today, but the battery for our camera is in need of charging. That's it for now. Ben
