More Earthwork and Satisfaction with a Job Well Done
Today we wrapped up some of the grading where there had been a pit that was about 5' deep that the contractor we had hired left. It is a long story, but we are happy that this is buttoned up before the rains come back.
We also got a timer installed on the hot water heater to keep it from running during peak hours. Since we got an electric car we switched to a time of use electrical plan where electricity is much less expensive during off peak hours. This will save us money and is also good for the grid because we can shift our electrical use to times when others are not using much electricity.
