More crew, more stuff....

Casey's kids Lauren and Keegan arrived this weekend to assist in the build.

The new power was pulled in from the box in the back.  4 #3 wires.  Took lots of snot (aka wire lubricant) and all hands on deck.  We got it to within 10 feet and then the chinese finger wire puller came off.  No problem.  We cut the conduit and pulled in the extra footage and then glued in a coupler. Looks like it was designed that way.  With the wire in place, the fuse panel was installed.   We can power up the panel now with the flick of a switch.

Here is a shot of the utility area.  This is the end wall of the kitchen.  You can see the stub up for the kitchen sink dead center.  Big window above the sink.  On each side are steel sheer panels.  We will be visiting OMA when the "big one" strikes.  Outside on the left just out of view is the sewer cleanout.  The little pipe on the left is cable TV, telephone, and data.  The silver pipe is her gas which runs across to the right side.  On the far right is the white gutter drain pipe.  The copper comes up out of the ground and feeds what will be the water heater mounted above the end of the gas pipe.  Cold and hot water enter the house at this point.

Casey continues to put up the roof.  Determining the exact layout of the roof has been "interesting".  Once again making me understand the wisdom of bring Casey out to build this.

Here is Keegan shooting up a spacer on the great room ridge.  You can see the rafters going up.

Here Casey is adding a rafter.

 Here is a view from the front.  Looking pretty darned good if I do say so myself.  Remember there will be a porch across the whole front.  

And a view from up on the hill looking towards the kitchen.

Here is the pad behind the wall for the AC unit.  I will be hard wiring the heat and AC so she can't turn it off (you really have to know her to understand that reference).

 I am working on putting in the power outlets.  The studio is now wired.  Today the rest of the place.
