Switch boxes and receptacle boxes going in everywhere.

Ceilings and electric getting run upstairs

If you look close this room will be vaulted

The guys are starting to remove their temporary lines they used during the build.

Master bedroom is coming along, much to do yet.

This is foil backed polystyrene?
How did that work out? I was planning on using this in my walls.

The stairs are going in, one thing I like about them is they creak when someone walks up them. That way I know when someone is coming up them.

There will be a small storage area under the staicase, and plenty of room for trolls

We are now getting ready for the side doors

Throw in some trim and it gets a little better

Necron,

It worked great, fortunately the guys are true craftsman so when it was finished no seams are to be found. The walls are concrete, all this went on the ceiling. Excellent "R" value and the upstairs is always cool even with no AC.

I decided to get an excavator to save time and give the guys a break, plus I got a good deal on the service.

Time to call in the heavy artillery

The guys and my back thanked me, doesn't look long but this goes all the way around the house and out the east wall to the klong.

All we had to do is trench to the foundation and get to the drains, showers and sinks are on this line and toilets to the tanks.

Not that much to do on this side.

Pipes delivered, now we got to unload them







We needed a few loads of these

If you have been following along with this thread, Yem my concrete guy rarely ever talks. When he does especially when it comes to concrete evryone listens. He wanted a pad under the pipes to stop them from shifting over time and the ground settling....I finally listened for a change

This is the back side of the house.

Here you can see the septic tank along side the storm drain, there boxes like this with covers level with the land all around the house. Sinks & showers run into this system and the poop in the other. Heavy rains are carried off as well.
