Building Update #5 - Utilities are In

Last week a significant amount of progress was made.  Our water connection and meter pit went in, our water and sewer pipes were run up to the house and garage, and our electrical and cable/telephone conduits were run.  We plan to install our sub-slab plumbing this week.  Once the sub-slab plumbing is run, we will cover it with crushed stone in preparation for laying our foundation insulation and pouring our foundation slab.
