There was more progress on the subfloor today, but they got only about a third of the way through. It should be finished in the next few days.
The next big thing will be putting on the deck. The deck materials were delivered today and moved down to the site so they'll be ready as soon as Steve's crew finishes the subfloor. 
The next big thing will be putting on the deck. The deck materials were delivered today and moved down to the site so they'll be ready as soon as Steve's crew finishes the subfloor. The wood for the deck is pressure treated pine by YellaWood manufactured by Great Southern Wood Preserving in Abbeville, AL.
If you live in the South you probably have seen the millions of TV ads for YellaWood. Jimmy Rane is the man behind the company who makes/made Osmose treated wood. Their yellow tags resulted in the TV ads having Mr. Rane in yellow shirts using yellow (or yella) for everything from yellow walls to yellow telephones and him answering the phone became "Yello" etc. He has made untold millions with the growth of his company. He is an Auburn grad who has gone on to get advanced degrees from Harvard, etc so although he portrays just a good ole Southern boy in his TV commercials he is a marketing genius. (He's also now a member of the Board of Directors for Auburn University.) I took the picture of the YellaWood sign because it's so well known around the South due to his TV ads with virtually every head football at every major university in the South.
Scott connected the water pipes to the water meter himself. At first he didn't know why there was almost no water pressure down the hill even though gravity alone should have created pressure even if it had not been connected to the water meter at all! After checking several things he discovered that a valve or something that had just been installed was inexplicably filled with some Styrofoam-like material. Once that was removed water flowed just fine. Whew!
The septic system guy (Jerry) did some grading etc today, but is not finished yet. He will not be available tomorrow (Wednesday) so it'll be Thursday before he's back to work. He may finish then or it may take till Friday. It was over 100 degrees here today. They said that the heat index was supposed to be around 110. Brutal!

Ok, this is Rose and I'm leaving my comments on the blog page itself, under the first section of pitures, NOT at the bottom of the page like I did before.
I had visited this album on kodakgallery & commented on it there too.
