A Week of Muck and More

Wow, hard to believe a whole week has passed!  This is what Len was up to while Cath worked.

First, the geothermal holes are all finished!  They managed to muck up the whole upper area north of the house so we are using the basement as an entry.

Len finished up a couple of "little" projects.

The wall in front of the brick support for the fireplace is complete

He spent a whole day finishing the box around the hot tub pumps

Then we had Ross come with his bobcat and dig the trenches that will allow for the wells to be joined together with pipe.  More muck and lots more dirt in piles everywhere.  The weather gods were with us and we didn't have any huge amounts of rain and no snow.

Nice neat trenching

Hard to see that this is 6 ft deep

Meanwhile, inside, Len was being his inventive self to help make the process of putting insulation in the ceiling a little more convenient.

The furnace guys were here 3 days this week and we hope they will be back on Monday to get us hooked up or at least on the road to being heated.

Last night we took a night off to go play music at a local coffee house hosted by our friend, Pat.   We played four songs and did not too badly.  We don't have a bass player so that is quite a bit hole in our sound.  Today the drilling guys are here to do their part of the hook up so watch for more pictures tomorrow.

Curious but not afraid
