The plumber, Dennis, of D&D Plumbing (304.822.3299) of Romney,
WV installed the below grade plumbing. Here is a picture of the septic pipe before connected under the foundation followed
by a view from outside the foundation.
The outside connection was completed by Hart Excavating, the company
that installed the septic field.
This picture shows the water line coming in through the foundation.
The well was drilled in early spring by Miller Bros Well Drilling. Kurt Haglund suggested that we have the well drilled
before laying out the house to make sure water was available at our proposed house site. A simple and commonsense suggestion
but one that many people do not follow--we did. After drilling the well, Miller Bros told us we had 40 gal a min flow,
enough water for a small community. When the company came back to bring the water line through the foundation, someone
made a small error in drilling through the foundation.
If you look closely you can see three holes instead of the one needed for the waterline. Miller Bros repaired this when
they installed the water tank later.
After some delays, the basement floor was poured by Hurt Construction
(403.268.2909).
When Dennis was installing the below grade plumbing, he also roughed
in a full bath for the basement (just in case we ever wanted it).
At first, we planned on setting up temporary electric to the house
site, but after discussing the work with Jerry Sanders (Sanders Electric, 304.788.2493, Keyser, WV), we decided to have the
permanent panel boxes installed. Jerry said it would be no problem to do it that way and it would save both money and
time. He installed 2 panel boxes in anticipation of the 400 amp service Alleghany Power would be installing.
Just as we start getting close to subfloor construction, storms
begin to move into the area.

Electric to the site was connected on 14 October 2005.
