2017 10 09 Solar field drilling .. 

The original plan was for the solar array to be on a concrete pad, but the builder suggested it would be more economical and less disruptive to put the panels on posts drilled into the very rocky ground.

Here's that happening.  The middle two photos show testing for lateral and vertical strength.

There seem to be miles of line and low voltage wire in the house.  A lot of it is for lighting control.

The lighting cans that have to be in before sheetrock are being installed.

The carpenters are busy getting the walls trued for sheetrock.  I learned that there are varying "levels" of sheetrock, from 1 to 5.  The carpenters get out their 6 and 8 foot levels and shim the walls to get them planar.  The house will be 5.

The second two photos are here just because I like the reflections of the mountains and clouds in the house.
