God Bless Canada Too

I ordered the windows today. I'm getting them from a Canadian company called Inline Fiberglass. The windows are triple glazed, argon filled, Low-E with an insulated fiberglass frame with thermal edge spacer. The south and east windows have a Hard coat to allow for more solar heat gain.

Bottom line, these are some of the best windows you can get this side of the Atlantic.

And grout the cells in the masonry walls.

Yes, I do have some beautiful trees behind my house.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the drunk toothless neighbor from down the street who threatened to blow up my house for hiring illegal mexicans to build it.

Luckily, after thirty minutes of me explaining to him that 'Melrose' and 'Higgins' aren't common Hispanic surnames and several USA chants, we shook hands and he offered to paint my house.

GBA y'all

Moving along...

The waterproofing and foundation drain have been installed.  You can get an idea of what the finished grade will look like.

Last week the city called me out for not have a port-a-john, threatened to 'shut me down' so...

Also, I now have electricity on site.

Orange....It's my new obsession.

Aaron and Calder sent me some new images. What do you think?
