    "The LODGE" Now that has a good ring to it! "Yeah, why don't ya drive on up to the Lodge. Ya can't miss it." Now that's cool.

      Thank you, Tim! Lodge does sound so cool! We still seem to be calling it barn house… maybe when it’s all done it will feel more like a lodge. Either way, it will be very cool and we can’t wait! 😊

      Pretty much! The pieces were laid out on the counter and Bo was definitely interested in what they were! 🤣 Turns out the piece had fallen on the ground on the walk there, so Bo was NOT to blame! 😂

    Glad to see the tracer wire. I just had to dig under and along a propane line that didn't have a tracer wire and was not installed in conduit. Had to dig a lot of holes by hand to find exactly where the line was.
    If you have a winch on a ATV or UTV it makes pulling the electric wire through the conduit a lot easier. Count the pieces of conduit to help determine how much wire to purchase. Add some extra to allow getting into the boxes. Better to waste 10' than to be 2' short.
    Surprised that you only have to go 4' on the water line. We go 5' here.
    You are making good progress. Thanks for bringing us along.

      Hi, Mike, good advice on buying and installing the wire - I definitely like having more to play with than cutting it close.
      I believe frost line here is about 30” - and I think we needed to go to 40” but decided 48” was better.
      Thank you for your insight and for watching. We appreciate it! 😊

      LOVE those birds, but never knew it was called the cheeseburger bird - I (Beth) love whistling back to them! 🤣

    Looks like a box of expensive pipe fittings

    • @ourdreaminthewoods
      @ourdreaminthewoods  Před 4 měsíci +5

      Hi, HW, I think those compression fittings were $80 a piece- but pretty easy to install compared to the other type.
      Everything seems expensive!! 😳
