What was suppose to be the big four selection (framing, concrete, electrical, plumbing) actually turned into the big six:
- Framing will be done by David Jones, Florissant
- Plumbing - Johnny's Plumbing, Canon City
- Electrical - Bright Lights, Golden
- Foundation - Toma Construction Services, Evergreen
- Flatwork/Excavation - Fremont Concrete, Canon City
- HVAC - Clearwater Enterprises, Denver
- Color/ Material Consulting - Carol Maslow Sage, Canon City
Marlys and I will be the waterproofing, french drain, painting(?) and sanitation (Porta John)contractors. We plan on putting in the french drain after the footing pour tomorrow and the stem wall forms have been set, but before the pour. Tim Longsdon at Fremont Concrete will then cover the drain with gravel, and we will waterproof the weekend after the basement walls are poured a week from tomorrow.
No one services porta johns this far out, so John (no pun intended) at Canon Rental is setting us up with a 'john' and a trailer, that we will tow up to Pinon Rock. When it needs servicing (hopefully, the crew will be on a low residue menu), we will tow it back to Canon and swap it out.
I can tell that the synchronization between the different crafts is going to be a major challenge as we progess, in some case Marlys and will need to fill any gaps. That's OK as it gives us an experience-based understanding of how our ideas are turned into a paper design, then people and parts, and finally into a home.

Pat, from the floor plans what's a "scanner artifact"?
Marlys, I think you should go with the gas firepit. Pat will be using the scape wood to make stuff we can sell at Arts & Crafts Shows. Seriously though, you wouldn't have to worry about embers on a windy day.
A line that the scanner put across the picture.
