Core-Filled Block and Basement Plumbing

A lot has happened since our last blog. Here's the latest... The block walls have been core filled with concrete. We've also done the plumbing rough-in in the basement that will go under our slab floor.

We've had someone from the electric company come out and tell us where our poles are going. We had to take down a few trees, but nothing major. He was very nice and gave us two options. One option was cheaper and easier for them, but would have costed us more trees (a couple of which we were fond of). The other option was a little more work for the electric company, but saved us trees! He was very nice and gave us the options. He didn't have to do that. They usually do the easiest way for them. We will have to have 2 poles on our property this way. Anyways, we got the few trees out of the way. We've got two very large firewood stacks now, and we've done some work to our campfire area.

Here are the photos of the guys pouring concrete in the block walls and the basement bathroom plumbing rough-in.
