WE HAVE GRASS!

I came home over the weekend to find some green plant like growth on the forlawn. Something I had not seen since the day we dug our house out of the ground, and the diesel super machines clear cut the landscape. It was in fact grass, being watered by the newly installed irrigation system ( thanks to marco). The front lawn has freshly planted seed on it. And the backyard will soon be planted. The irrigation system is has 6 valves with a controler that is installed on the side of the house; or at least, I tried to instal it over the weekend.
All the rockwall is completely DONE.
And soon they will finish the driveway.



I almost installed the irrigation timer and an exterior GFIC plug to power some of the landscape lighting. I had almost finished when the head of one of the screws broke off..... so i was unable to secure the plug.

And me and Marco do some tilling. Under the carfull eye of Mr. Rohon..... which leads to many delays. O and the towel heater just came in .... it's a beast.

July 5th update!

I'll start by saying that bathroom progress has come to a standstill. Right now it's painted, and my dad started to do the tile work around the tub and shower unit. But that was a couple weeks ago. But I guess on a positive note, my brothers have gotten used to not having a shower in the house.
A lot of progress has been made outside in the last couple weeks. The rockwall is basically complete, with all the concrete caps finished. They still need to pour the platform around the hot tub, and pour dirt in certain areas and such. They where waiting on the irrigation system to be installed, which thanks to Marco, I believe is on its way. The West side ( as seen above ) of the house was once again ..... i believe for the 3rd time...... was dug up and the foundation was patched and sealed. This TIME PRoperly !!!!
