Thanks! We wanted low maintenance when we built this. Figured a metal roof is about as low maintenance as you can get while still be reasonably priced. Plus it will match the roof we just put on the garage last year.

I built the wall for the peninsula, worked on some wiring for the surround sound and Ethernet, and helped pour the wall for the mudroom today.
I don't see the opening for the corridor down to the secret room further back in the yard?
Nice design overall. It's shaping up nicely. 👍
Well, the Town codes guy stopped by to check the holes for the deck posts and the framing. Passed with flying colors minus one beam we still need to reinforce which we knew about. County plumbing inspection also passed. Yay! I picked up all the pipe and fittings to start the propane line and the contractor started digging the trench for the waterline. The old line wouldn't quite reach and he was just going to patch in a section. No, we'll replace the line and wiring so it doesn't have to be dug up again. Just backfilling it now. Another thing off the checklist!

Right answer. Pay for it once, done right.
Hope you don't have crunchy brown water there...
It was a perfect day to work outside. 50, overcast, no rain. I'm not a huge fan of getting in a trench with no wall support though. Especially given how wet the ground is. There was a guy in our little town (population 7500) that died a couple of years ago while working in his yard. He had dug an 18" deep trench and was laying in it doing something, when it collapsed and he couldn't free himself. His wife found him a few hours later :/
