Slab Week

The exterior footings are in..
The Gravel is in...
The vapor barrier is in...
The sand is in....
The remesh is in....

Tomorrow, if the rain stays away, the guys from our HVAC supplier will be here to install the PEX tubing into the remesh...... See the link below for more info on radiant heat and PEX.

If we are REAL lucky, the inspectors will OK it all on Wed and we'll pour the slab on Thursday....

We are crossing our Xanax stained fingers.....

Out of the gutter and into the cold..

Although the stucco guys completed their job a couple of weeks ago, some minor cracks developed in 3 areas and they have come back to patch them up..... Having the scaffold up for the stucco guys allowed our gutter guy to hang the final piece.... On Wednesday of this week the guys from Airsmiths installed the air conditioning condenser...If you're wondering if that is the American Standard Allegiance 14 Super Efficiency Condenser, you would be right! It is made in Texas in the same factory that Trane air conditioners are made at. http://www.americanstandardair.com/Products.asp?Section=homeOwners&ProductID=7&CategoryID=16&SuperCategoryID=1

Controlling the weather

We installed a Weathermatic irrigation system controller.  It is connected to an on-site weather station that monitors temperature, rainfall, windspeed, and humidity. As the seasons change, it automatically adjusts the station timing, very handy! UPDATE:  We had nothing but trouble with this controller and in 2016 we replaced it with a dramatically better one from Rachio. See it here: https://www.rachio.com/ Better yet, the City of Sacramento has a rebate program to replace old controllers with `smart' controllers like the Rachio, check it out here: https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Utilities/Conservation/Rebates/River-Friendly-Landscape-Rebate  

Fountain Installation

We are installing a fountain system that will use 3 linked aqua basins from Aquascapes.
