Trilobite

August 5th: More work on the ducts and wiring.

August 6th: The drywall was put up on the interior walls of the garage, and there is also now a doorknob on the front door. This means the house can finally be locked. Two vents were installed on the side of the house. They are connected inside. Gisele’s peppers are looking pretty good.

August 9th: Holes were cut in the showers. Something is happening with the front steps. A pipe labeled “gas line” was put in. One of the vents has been moved to the other side of the bay window, and the hole it left was patched with a sheet of aluminum.

August 11th: The concrete was poured for the steps, porch, and garage. There is a bathtub in the master bathroom, and the taps have been installed in the showers.

August 12th: A whole bunch of fiberglass was delivered today, and some of the wooden frame was removed from the porch and steps. I just noticed that the blue cables that run throughout the house are cat 5 cables. At first I wondered if every room will have an ethernet port in the wall, but Celine says it is probably for the alarm system. Maybe.

August 17th: The insulation is up. They must have used this scaffold to reach the ceilings. Celine says somebody came into the house through an open window the other night and pulled down some of the insulation. They also tried to break into the shed. This has something to do with it, but I’m not sure what. The flowers in the yard are pretty.
