A lot of things were happening this week, all of which are leading to big payoffs. Unfortunately, it is not the exciting stuff that is getting done. We passed our footer inspection (for the steel beam) on Friday. We are about two days of work away from having our electrical, rough plumbing, and HVAC finished. Once those items are complete and the steel beam is installed, we will be ready for our four way inspection.

I can't tell you how excited I am for the four way inspection. It is the point where the house starts to get put back together. It is the a-okay to put up drywall. After dry wall comes floors, then kitchen......skip a few steps.....Thanksgiving! The progress will start to get real exciting. Because let me tell you, rough plumbing and electrical is boring stuff.

For our weekly "home owners" project, we decided to clean out the planter by the front door so that (someday) it will be ready to be landscaped. Here is the before picture:

It was a ton of heavy lifting, and it is no wonder I have had a sore back this week. In order to get the rocks out I basically had to farmer carry a full bucket to the dumpster, dumbbell snatch it above my head, and the dump it into the garbage. Not that much different from my regularly scheduled workouts, however, much more dusty.
It was a lot of work, and sadly the planter didn't look much better after a full day of work:
And in closing, here is Michael pretending to use the worker's porta potty:
Tune in next week for Mud Jacking. What is that? Marginally exciting stuff.
