1st half of August!

Finally somethings to blog about. As much as I wanted the house done by our Anniversary and my friend Mary comes to visit from Scotland, sometimes life gets in the way, or really bad plumbers. Needless to say, I'm not sure any work got done in July. Lets just not go there. But the next step is having the plumbing put in. Which required for some mysterious reason this giant load of sand.
Since our house is being built somewhat like commercial construction the plumbing gets put in the floor. So first trenches were dug.
 Curt did this part, since he wanted to make sure it all got put in right place.

 Pip really enjoyed the trenches.
 After it was all put in, sand being used in the trenches it was covered over with the rock.
 Looks like this.
 Now, when I mentioned bad plumbers what I mean by this is, Curt had to have them back out 3 times to fix mistakes and then he finally got so frustrated he fixed the last few things himself. (And this was supposed to be a really good plumber, one used before) However there is still one more thing to fix, they left a piece of rebar, sticking our of our floor! You can see it in the below picture. Since we don't want to be stubbing our toes on this vicious piece of metal (it has already drawn blood on my knee) it has to be removed before the floor gets poured. Curt just left to pull that out.
 All in all, plumbing is not that exciting to blog about, and even more boring to read about I'm sure.
