[scuba_dave]

Accomplishments:
The SF is now buried
200A panel with the corroded lugs has been replaced w/new 200A panel
100a subpanel rewired, just about ready for the genpac to be installed
Electrician rewired everything, I just need to re-document the breakers

Garage foundation started in mid-July, that is when the trenches were dug
3rd or 4th electrician later (should have called him 1st) and the work is almost done.

Spring will mean lots of re-landscaping

I have some piles of dirt that will be turned into graves for Halloween

:party:


I also had the plumbing pipes moved up. One leak I ended up fixing myself.
It was fixed...but still leaking, so I decided to take it apart & redo it
Furnace guy will be here next week to clean the boiler
Wife wants heat!!

and with a broken rib this past summer I did not get any wood split :hmpf:
So it's going to be an oil heat year...save the wood I have in case of a power failure
But then again, the generator will be setup to run the heating system if that happens!!

3 years here in November, and finally feel like I am making some headway

Three years!?! Damn, you're slow. LOL!

I'm three years into my fixer as well. And I just did the service entrance and breaker panel. And I'm also planning a complete kitchen. Sound like we're moving at exactly the same speed! I'm originally from the Boston area, maybe that has something to do with it.

Had visit from structural engineer yesterday. Hopefully he'll get back to me quickly and I can start ripping out the load bearing walls!
