The hot tub cover finally arrived! I had to screw the little clamps in for the straps, and it felt more than a little terrifying to drill a hole in the wood with it full of water.

They did such a good job with the patio pavers!

Today I hooked up the CT clamps to the main breaker panel, and now I have continuous monitoring of how much power the house is using! It's very cool. I'm going to have my electrician run CTs to each individual circuit next time he's here.

They finally poured the concrete for the back steps and foundation for the shed!

wet concrete

I finally put up the trim for the LED strip on the roof patio. There was this awkward corner to get around that I filled in with epoxy putty, seemed easier than figuring out how to make it work with the trim.

They are pouring the last concrete tomorrow so I had to get some photos of the forms before they are filled in!

that's one way to have a cat on your lap

Finally printed the labels for the last patch panels

I made a little 3D printed model of the concrete stairs they are building the forms for in order to double check it will be the right shape

we are *so close* to being done!

went around to all the mini splits and got them connected to wifi! I don't love that it's a proprietary app, so I'm looking into an alternative controller that taps into the serial bus on the indoor units.

The custom cushions for the dining room bench seating finally arrived!

yeah that hot tub filter definitely needed a cleaning

I'm very excited about the new concrete retaining wall! I was watching them pour it over the cameras while I was out of town
