Day (126) on New House

It's been a while since I did any updates on the house. In the last few weeks we have got windows, finished shingeling, finished the rough in of plumbing and heating/a.c and just today they started to put rock on the garage part of the house. The insulation is complete so the sheet rocker plans to start on Monday.

KENNECOT COPPER BINGHAM MINE







We took a trip with my parents to go see the Kennecot Copper mine just South of Salt Lake City. If you have never gone, i'd highly recomend going. It is the largest man made excavation in the world. It is 3/4's of a mile deep and over 3 miles wide. The mine is in operation 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The trucks hauling the material drive a combined 10000 miles everyday. As you can see in the pic of Easton standing next to one of the truck tires, they arent small. Just the tires alone stand 2 stories.

This week we finally got stairs down into the basement. Ron finished the concrete stairs from the garage down into the basement and also the stairs by the front entry down into the basement. Friday Jake finished the arches in some of the entryways. The shinglers should finish up sometime today.
