Yah! we have power and plumbing

Alright, we are now getting caught up.  We got our plumbing done Monday, Jan 2, 2012.  Only about 3 months late but at this time I am not complaining.  Georgia power is supposed to be out this week to put our power in when the weather is good.  We hope we will only be grid tied for a short time til we can get our solar power figured out.  Here are some more pictures of our home place.  The first picture above is our new storage bench in the master bath.  We used rough looking stepping stones to line the wall and to set on the center section that the candles are sitting on and then used 3 ceramic tiles to fill in.  Then I am going to upholster the 2 lids and paint the sides later on.
Now, this is the krooked pine that this blog is named for.  It is right at the driveway as we come in off the road.  This picture was taken last winter after our big snow. We, hopefully, will be home at the end of the month to try to get our underpinning done and get our driveway entrance poured with concrete.  Then, we will only have our well and waterlines to do and we will be set to get our certificate of occupancy.  Finally.  We might have to get our permits extended one time for a three month extension, though to have enough time to do everything.  The biggest problem is coming up with the money to do so.  When you pay as you go it takes time. Wish our Federal Govenment did everything this way.  We might be in better fiscal shape.  Thanks for stopping by.

  1. hat’s great. You’ve got most of the basic utilities already covered! And even better; you guys are open to have solar power for your house someday. Hopefully, your plumbing and other necessary utilities have been installed well, so you won’t run into any problems with it in the future (along with regular maintenance such as for the plumbing, for example).

  2. Thank you for your comment. The only problem we have had was a leak from the pipe going to our washing machine. We did not know anything about it until the floor started sagging. Of course we had to find it the week that my other half had surgery for a hernia. But thanks to his brother it is now fixed and working fine. No other problems so far.
