Plumbing & Electrical

We're rolling along with the rough-ins for each system. In fact, we're virtually done with rough plumbing with the exception of the tanks below the house. We're hard at work on final wiring, hooking up the inverters, and the home automation system. We also hope to wrap up the lights shortly so we can start installing the ceiling boards. We'll post an exhaustive entry on each system once we're done, but in the mean time we'd like to thank the guys from Muetzel plumbing and Michael from Watt-1. You all have really helped out a lot and we couldn't have gotten this far without your efforts. We can't say enough how much we appreciate everything you've done and how much we've enjoyed working with all of you.
