For the past two weekends we have been busy installing two retaining walls. We had some grade issues to contend with on the walkout basement, so these are there to extend the foundation wing walls and help gradually reduce the height. Each block is 77 lbs., and we had around 300 all together. My back is glad that this project is done!

The electrician has been busy hooking up light fixtures. We went with a lot of Glomar fixtures from Home Depot as well as Emerson Pro Series ceiling fans in each bedroom. We also used Cree LED bulbs in most of the fixtures as well which should help keep energy costs down over the long haul.

The plumbers were here today and put in the septic tank and have a good start on the leach field. The tank is 1500 gallons and will have 4 legs on the leach field. Let’s hope this is the last time we see this!

The electrician was here today and installed the LED trim rings on all of our Juno recessed can lights. These put out a lot of light and are incredibly energy efficient. We’re anxious to see the rest of the light fixtures go up as well.

Colt and Jay came down this evening and poured our front sidewalk. It’s 5″ thick re-bar reinforced, I suppose in case a dump truck would ever need to drive over it, right? They did an exceptional job on the pour and the radius curve looks great!
