Day 58 (July 13th)

This Saturday the painter was down working on the house. He was priming the walls with primer tinted the color of our final paint (beige). It's nice to see it starting to really come together.

I spent the day knocking a hole through my block wall to run a PVC sleeve for the water line to come through. I had to dig out a big muck hole on the outside which wasn't too fun. I drilled the inside of the wall first. Then drilled a hole through the center of my knockout to the outside wall so I knew where to drill from outside. No room to work on the outside and very muddy. Plus Knocking out the hole on the outside wall was harder since the large socket I used on the inside as a punch decided to make it's permanent home inside my block wall. Oops! Looks like I owe my brother a socket.

Water pipe running through PVC sleeve with foam sealant and black tar sealant to keep ground water out.

I graveled the pit for better drainage in case water makes it down this far through soil.

 Tinted primer bringing some color to the walls.

 Buddy keeping front porch safe.
