We went over to the property this morning to meet the electrician and the plumber with the contractor. We spent a lot of time worrying about where to put the entrance for the electrical service (and the meter), but the length of the wires from the solar panels dictated the back of the house.
The wire guys and the gradall operator were busy wiring and lifting the remaining cages and i-beams into the holes and then providing supports so that they would stand straight up. When Ted went up there in the evening after returning from work, he got this photo of all the gabion holes filled with i-beams. You can see the detail in the closeup photo. They worked all day and didn’t leave until 5:30, taking the machine down to the front yard, where it can be picked up tomorrow. Tomorrow, they will place the short remaining cages into the holes for a small front wall. Then sometime two inspectors will come and sign off so that cement can be poured.
