Plumbing

Well, moving right along! We got all the plumbing done in a day and a half, and boy was it tough! We started last Thursday and called the inspection in for Friday. You have to call this recording and leave a message to schedule the inspection. I begged them to come late on Friday, but it's really up to the inspector. We worked until 8pm Thursday night and started again on Friday morning at 6am. There was SO much to do! I had to run into town to get a few final parts, so the girls and I got the parts and picked up lunch. We got back and finished up, and had just started eating when the inspector came! And we passed! Yay!! So all our hard work paid off! Then, after all that, Dan and kiddos drove me to Tucson for a Mother's Day dinner at the Melting Pot! It was a great day, but we were all completely EXHAUSTED by the time it was over! We spent Saturday laying around the house and recovering. : )

Sunday, we filled all the dirt in around the plumbing. I am amazed at how many times we have moved the same dirt around to different places! In, then out, then over here, then back over there, then in again! Dan wants to soak everything really well with water so that all the dirt settles as much as possible. We don't want the foundation settling later because the dirt shifts! I don't think we will be able to pour the slab this weekend like we were aiming for. We are still a little behind from the stupid rebar delay! But we are not too far off track, so we'll keep plugging away at it!!
