Plumbing and electric

Finally, after lots of preparation, planning, and purchasing, we finally got our hands dirty with the plumbing and electric. Sara's done some plumbing before but there was still lots to figure out, and Chris has been connecting wires since before he could walk but has never done any residential wiring. So far it's going well but we're just getting started.

Our water line finally got connected to the well, so hopefully we can backfill the trench soon. It will be nice to not have piles of dirt everywhere for once.

Early in the week we had a very successful trip to the big city. Our good friend Jack loaned us his truck and horse trailer, and we proceeded to raid a couple second hand building material stores, craigslist, and Home Depot. We returned home victorious with a used refrigerator, clawfoot bath tub, shower pan, kitchen sink, a few plumbing fixtures, all our light fixtures, and our plumbing and electric supplies.
