Here is all the metal siding installed on the inside of the parapet wall on the south and west side. Most of the capping on the south side is done.

Water service

It has been over 2.5 month since I have applied for new water and sewer connection from the City. They’ve taken the money yet I’m faced with delay after delay. So I decided to call in my plumber at AV Mechanical to lay the water service line on my private side so that I can pour the concrete floor in my basement.

Last week on July 18th, the last locate for the water / sewer service is performed and they marked up the natural gas service line. Now the city contractor should have all the locate they need and I am waiting for them to schedule a call to confirm schedule when they are going to come and do the new water / sewer connection.
