Plumbing

I have pipes!! Dad's plumber was nice enough to make the drive up here two days to do my plumbing. He even got his plumbing inspector friend to come by and give me a permit. In case we do end up getting city water. Anyways. Monday they dug the trenches for the pipes. You can see where they measured off and marked each pipe on the wood forms.


While the plumber laid the pipes dad dug the footings for the foundation.
The footings
Tuesday they put in the copper piping and covered everything with a sand like dirt.

The next steps.
1. Level the dirt back off.
2. Have it treated for termites.
3. Cover it with visqueen and steel.
4. Pour the concrete.

It's suppose to rain tomorrow, so not sure when the next steps will begin. Until then...

We used fence posts to hold the logs in and put a couple if 4x4s on the ground to keep the logs off the ground. Once we get a few more fence posts we can make another one or two. The firewood is never ending!!!

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once.  We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
