Let there be light, and water, and sewer

They did a lot of work on the house today. They broke up our old parking slab and hauled it away. They also removed the rhododendron that was next to it. Another thing that is missing from this picture is one of our cars. It was stolen from the parking lot where I work today.
If you look closely you can see a light in this garage. The electrician has been busy putting in lights and outlets in the garages and "walk" space.
The new water inlet to the house and the new sewer (septic system) outlet were installed today. They disconnected the water and sewer for awhile today. This is a picture of the new water inlet. Part way up the wall is a shutoff valve. I decided not to include a picture of the sewer outlet.
They started marking out the area to build our new back porch.
Sometime recently they finished the support under the chimney. I'm not sure when it was done.
This morning the wind was blowing and our house didn't move. It is nice to be off the Jenga stacks.
We took a train ride on a local tourist train last week. Living in a house on Jenga stacks makes it easier to walk on a moving train.
