Slow But Steady

Other than "Concrete" Mike showing up to pump water out of the trenches, nothing happened outside today. We had a cool and misty day. Little or no measurable rainfall, but not conducive to drying out either. While I have not been told it will happen, I am expecting "Concrete" Mike to have his crew back maybe tomorrow to remove the foundation frames. "Our" Mike told me that they had to rent some additional narrow gauge frames to use around the bay foundation, so I'm sure they are anxious to get those returned.

John and Tim (HVAC) returned today to continue work on the water systems in the basement and will be back tomorrow. Still not finished with the domestic hot water heater. They installed the framing for the radiant floor boiler today. I expect they have several more days of work ahead of them. T is arriving home late tonight from Texas. I was hoping to have time to test the domestic water heater before she arrived so, if it didn't work well, I could leave town. However, I am more and more confident it will work very well.

This afternoon, "Our" Mike forwarded to me an email from Vern's company (outside plumbing) with their updated plan to start the incoming domestic water line tomorrow (Wednesday), weather permitting. The forecast is improving with only a 30% chance of rain tonight and dropping to 0% tomorrow. The forecast starting Thursday, and through the next 10 days, is for clear, dry and cool weather. If true, next week we should be able to get the trenches back filled and level out the back yard. We also still need to re-install the garage downspout laterals that weren't properly located initially and had to be removed for the foundation work.
