Move that dirt!

Spread the love

This past week we’ve had a variety of changes:

  • 2300-gallon water cistern install
  • All house and garage eaves and roof insulation completed
  • Dirt leveled around the house and garage
  • Utility room finished and power system moved in
  • Septic covered

So, let’s get into it. The 2300-gallon cistern is used for the initial rainwater capture from the roof. The rainwater is prefiltered using a gravity filter system called a Wisy Vortex. The US company we worked with to get this unit was Rain Brothers. You will see the unit right next to the cistern below.

Missing completed shots of the eaves and top-soil, but I’ll follow up more later. Here is the completed utility room and power system.

Here is the covered septic with some of the dirt moved. I couldn’t believe how nice things look (you have to look beyond the equipment).

West yard and septic system

As you can see from the picture below, the eaves are done on all buildings AND the dirt is 2 feet higher and level with the buildings…that has been very exciting.

You can also see a huge pile of steel in front of the garage…preview of the work for next week on the roof 🙂

I know a panorama isn’t going to do the back yard justice, but it was fun to make, so here you go.

I finally got my flash drive out of the drone and have a bunch of pictures to share of the land and house progress, so here is a collage of what I’ve been capturing from the air for the past couple months.

I’ll try to get some additional video content out, but for now, here is the latest drone flight from last week.
