Finally making some headway again.
We had a problem with drainage in the red clay so we had to change the slope on the uphill side of the house and increase the drainage field to divert water flow under as well as around the greenhouse.
It took the excavation contractor (me) several days to move the soil from the uphill side to another location and another few days for the drainage specialist (me) to ditch out, lay the drainage pipe and backfill with gravel. In the process, the drainage contractor discovered that the conduit for the electrical had a bad joint and was taking on water. After the electrical contractor (me) had repaired that conduit, additional drainage was added to move water away from the buried electrical conduit.
To make a short story long, those jobs added several days and several bruises to the project. But it was well worth it. This was the first day that I did not feel like I was hauling half of the work site around on the soles of my shoes.

Dry ground!
The skin is on the house, FINALLY. Today was a day of rest and allowing the sun to soften the plastic, removing the wrinkles and creases. Will finish pulling it tight tomorrow and start placing the Lexan end panels.


Finally, the Skirt around the base and the construction phase is done.
Electrcal is next!
Then plumbing will be installed.
Finally, the working end. More on that as the project evolves. I have been talking with several MOFIBians

about some innovative projects.
OH! And I need to get the cleaning person (me) in to wash that red clay and grime off of the plastic.
