July 11, 2009: Drains and Electrical Work

We visited the house on Saturday with some friends. The gutter drains had been mostly installed and some

From left to right. Soham, Ashwini, Deept, Preethi, Malik, and Rekha. Also if you look closely the electrical box on the outside has been mounted.

At the front corner of garage, drain on the downspout, not yet attached.

Drain pipes flowing out from the house.

Exterior electrical outlets are in. I think I'll get the cover changed as I don't think the plastic looks good. The hole on the right is for a water faucet.

Other outlets on the outside.

Light switches in the great room.

The electrical boxes are in.

The copper tubing for the heat exchanger / compressor.

The gutter guard has been in for a while now, but I don't think I've posted a picture before now.

March 23 - Gravel poured

On Monday (23rd) the gravel that was beside the port-a-john was spread out in the basement. This necessitated building a small ramp down to the front of the basement (there was an existing ramp on the back).

The basement filled with gravel. Except for the covered entryway area which is not.

Looking back towards the road (north). The dirt ramp can be seen in the top left and the gravel can be seen more clearly here.

Preethi poses in front of the gravel filled basement.

So much fun before, here's some more pics from around the lot.

Silver wades into the stream. Frequently, he'll lie down in the stream and start snapping at the water in an impression of what Preethi calls "Crocadog" and I call "Hippodogamus"

That random circular piece of concrete? That's a well. If we have a son, he will NOT be named Timmy.

Electrical hookup on the lot, it's kinda on the northwest corner of the lot (end of the cul-de-sac). Currently the electicity bill goes straight to the builder.

Fritz, Silver, and I walk down a trail that parallels the stream.
