feb 16 update
over the weekend me and a couple of buddies trenched and ran the 1" water line. trenched about 100' 2 feet deep. ran 1" pex and where it will be run over by things i put 60' of it inside a 1 1/2" pvc conduit. put a ball valve on the beginning of it for a shutoff. it is tapped into outside hose bibs that are run all over my property. wiesbro pex is pretty amazing. no crimp rings, just expand the pipe with the ring on it and shove it on the fitting and a few seconds later a permanent fit.
so now i have water. put the outside 4 hosebibs on and the valve for the toilet.
the garage door company was here this morning and replaced the bottom panel on one of the doors that had been damaged. he also totally installed that door, but the other one had a broken limit switch on the motor unit so he couldnt finish it.
last friday the stucco guy came and spent the day fixing all the hairline cracks. today has been 31 days since the finish sand finish was put on. most builders will paint a few days after the last stucco coat. i had mine wait a month for all the cracking to finish and the stucco to cure. fortunately he is willing to do it.
the painter came today and pressure washed the entire outside and taped it up to get ready to prime tomorrow.
then 2 coats of the exterior paint. should be done by thursday.
the painter who did the inside is coming back to do the ceiling another coat. i have to admit i like the semi gloss ceiling.
next week will be getting the lights and fans up and start the outside grading. so getting close to final inspection.
