Colorful Sunrise


While I was writing the previous post, I noticed the sunrise: 


Dad won't get up for another two hours...

Critters


I walked out the door and looked down the driveway to see a couple of deer.  I went back into the house to get my camera and when I came back they were further down the driveway.  It is at the junction of our driveway and the Calvi driveway.  The other deer is behind the shed.  I think the deer behind the shed sneezed and they both bolted.  I went down the driveway to see if I could find them again, but no.

While I was down the driveway I took a photo of the changing leaf colors.  That's either birch or aspen.  I forget which we have.


Oh, and I took a photo of a squirrel.

Dad's House Construction - Sep 12, 2015

The Attic:

My Part of the Attic:




Dad's Part of the Attic:


Attic Exterior:


Attic Ingress/Egress:

Living Room:


My Bedroom:

Kitchen:
Dad's desk used to be in the corner there.

Utility Room:
Those orange hoses will be the water in/out for the radiant heating system in the floor.

Master Bedroom:
The desk was moved over two days previous to today because a couple of days before that he had moved the modem over there and his computer no longer had internet access.

Master Bathroom:
Only missing a mirror and tile flooring.

Main Bathroom:

Crawl Space:

Exterior:

Septic System:

Septic Tank:
Where the sewage from the house first goes.  The septic tank will have to be pumped periodically to get rid of any solid waste.

Dosing Tank:
The next stop for sewage.  It fills until a certain level then is released downhill.

Absorption Field:
The final stop.  The liquid waste will eventually be absorbed by the ground.  Eventually there will be dirt on top of that plastic tarp to help with odor abatement.  There currently isn't any bad odors coming from it though.
