Another ditch

They patched more of the cracks today. Our house is looking and feeling more like our home again.
The also dug a ditch for the pipe from our water meter to the house. It looks like they are going to go under the footing rather than through the foundation.
They also compacted the crushed rock in the garage. This is the compactor they used. They are getting ready to pour our garage floor.
The electrician is starting to wire the garage and "walk" space.
They also filled in the hole where the Jenga stack in the back of the house was located.

We have heat

Today they finished the duct work and hooked the natural gas up to our furnace. We no longer need to use space heaters. A person could get spoiled by central heating. Whenever they used flexible ducting in the garage area, they added framing to cover it.
They changed the natural gas connection at the meter when they connected our furnace. With this new connection they can complete the wall next to the gas meter.
They are cutting a hole through our new foundation for our water. They need to get the water and sewer out of our walls so they can finish closing in the house.
They filled the other garage with crushed rock. The next step for the garage is to put in the re-bar for the concrete floor.
They also started patching the cracks in the walls of the house.

More ductwork

They added more duct work today. We are closer to being able to use our furnace.
There are a few gaps. We also need to hook the natural gas back up to the furnace. They had to cut the natural gas line to the furnace to get the beams under our house to raise it.
They also finished some more walls in the garage section.
They added a board to help support an end of a beam.

Gravel and ductwork

They delivered a lot of gravel today. They filled in the garage on the right with gravel. I was hoping one of our cars would be the first one to be parked in our new garage. Maybe the Bobcat doesn't count as a car.
They put blue chalk lines in the garages and area in between the garages to show the new floor level. The garage on the right was filled with gravel almost to that level.
The also started putting our heating ducts back in. We had flexible heating ducts hanging below the floor joists before. We need to have some solid heating ducts because of the garage doors. They are removing some of the floor insulation and putting some heating ducts between the floor joists.
We are still using flexible ducts. And they are putting the flexible ducts between the floor joist in some places. I thing running the heating next to the floor will be a good thing.
In addition to doing the gravel and ductwork, they also framed some doorways and added plywood in places.

More work

Today they worked on things like putting plywood on the tops of the walls. Most of the walls are too tall for eight foot plywood. These walls need an extra piece at the top. They used ten foot plywood for the exterior walls.
