Lake Renovation: Day 27

Today the concrete crew was here and poured the last section of concrete.  They'll still have to come back to install the blacktop between the end of the driveway and the street and then it will be finished.  We have to keep all vehicles off of it for 10 days which would be Friday, Oct. 25th.  Then normal vehicles can drive on it, but no really heavy vehicles for at least 30 days, so November 15th.

The landscaping crew was here and got everything cleaned up and hydroseeded.  We should still be able to get some grass to grow before winter.  I was planning on doing the landscaping myself, but once I realize just how much dirt we needed, I realized there was no way.

The stone crew was here again and made more progress including starting on the chimney. They also poured the caps to the front pillers so we'll see how that turns out.  A gutter crew was here and installed gutters and gutter guards.  I'm not crazy about how they did the downspouts around the stone though.  The electrician was here and mounted the new meter box outside and the new panel inside, so we should be getting close to having some functioning electricity again.  Currently, there's only an outlet or two that still runs off of the old service.

The contractor and one of his guys was here.  They worked on painting the outside trim and taping the new drywall.
