After a frantic week I was ready for a day of relative relaxation. I slept in a teeny bit then headed out to eyeball our progress on the house. I measured up for some plumbing supplies we needed and then headed into town. Todays job was to put in a few of the underground conduits we would need.

The electrical/mechanical room is in one corner of the house. Gas, sewer, water, telephone and cable all come to this same place. This means that conduits from the outside come up inside the walls. I also needed to locate a sewer line across the foundation space from the old house. This pipe will be cut off and abandoned when the new house is complete. All of the pipes had been cast through the walls when we poured the concrete. It was a simple task of cutting and gluing the pipes together, making sure everything sloped the right amount.

Tomorrow we'll begin packing in a whole bunch more sand. Stay tuned...
