Week 48: Framing and Harvesting




This week, the LVM interior walls went up. Walk in closet, Bathroom and Mechanical room. This allowed us to continue our wiring. Speaker cables, Ethernet cables all were tested and they work! This whole wiring process was much easier than expected. We're no longer afraid and need to rely on "experts" to do these kinds of things.
We're full force ahead with the cedar courtyard slats...costly but we're going to build only 1 house in our lifetimes, so why not!! We chose the clear expensive grade of cedar, they are beautiful and knot free.
Our home security system arrived this week, it's very cost effective but requires a bit of deciphering on the manual. It's so cryptic, can't understand it at all on the first read. The forums have been very helpful and we hope to attempt testing this weekend.
On another note, our watermelon and squash (first ones) was harvested yesterday. Going to bring it to work tomorrow and finally enjoy the fruit of our labor.
