Week 8: Mechanicals & Gardening





More plumbing and electrical were laid this week in preparation for the concrete slab pouring. Planning is crucial at this stage since there's no way to correct it afterwards.
We were planning to do another balloon project, couldn't fit it in the car after filling with helium, thought we would be OK with hanging it out the sunroof....not a good idea. One balloon popped immediately after the car started and the other had a small hole that ruptured. Will try again when the kit starts to get assembled.
My parents did some light gardening to see how the seeds would do with the native soil, just a test really.
While we were on site, some neigbors stopped by to check out the property. They were really nice and told us some history of the land. It was farm land about 20 years ago.
We found a lot of rounded rocks, this place must have been under water at one point in time.
