More soccer games this past weekend, but after Addie's Sunday game we grabbed lunch and snuck out to the Hideout to see the latest. Electricians and Plumbers had left their mark. The plumbing rough in was complete and electrical was about half way there. The framing crew was onsite (on a Sunday!) wrapping up the exterior and getting ready for the roof install. The back of the house is finally covered.

Forgive me if I sound like an ignorant dolt, but I am loving this PEX plumbing system. I have no idea how long this has been a standard building material/process but it's absolutely brilliant. The hot and cold water line for every tap, toilet, and shower in the house ties into a single manifold. From there we can control water shut-off to the entire house.
Addie and I had a laugh as I explained how she could sneak down to the command center and turn off the hot water while Gavin was taking a shower and give him a dose of cold water. I saw the sparkle in her eye - this will become a war...

Here is the stub-out for the out door shower. You can see the small curb on the right side where a 6' CMU wall will be installed for a touch of privacy.

River has been a lot of fun (and work) around the house, but she is 100% part of the family. We let her have some time off the leash at the Hideout and she did well. Alex did a good job keeping a close eye on her...
