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...

Kev and I are building firewood holders. We went out there Sunday and built the first one. 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!!!

Recreation of London Beef and Mushroom Pie

While in London I ate this wonderful beef and mushroom pie! I wanted to recreate it and use some of the deer steak in our freezer. I found this recipe . Of course like most recipes I tweaked it a little. I added green peas and left out the celery. I also used pie crust instead of puffed pastry. I made individual ones in these cute Corningware dishes. They were delicious!

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
