For some reason I pictured the cabin out a little more.
The plan is that the casita, the outdoor kitchen and the main house will form an arc of buildings that all face the cement pond...

When I looked into it, it required a demo letter from an agency qualified to purchase. Such as a local PD who will write you a letter that they are intersted in say...having you come out and demo an MP7. That allowed you to purchase an MP7 so you could go demo it. Even if they didn't buy it your FFL owned it until you dissolved or sold it to a qualified buyer.
Dealing classIII and manufacturing are two different animals....not sure about the mfg

Thanks guys. No need Nate I have a EE friend with a master electrician license that I can have look at it. I have a 20/40 circuit 100 amp panel so I’m ok being somewhat conservative. And will still have room to run the outdoor kitchen off that panel and leave room for future expansion. I think I’ll end up around 10 circuits.

Good to hear Don. Jon my MIL was the same way. Complained how bad her knee hurts but won’t do the pre-op PT and complains about having to do it before hell do the surgery. Stats show without the necessary and painful PT the results are less than ideal. In the dawning era of pay for performance for physicians you will see more and more physicians refusing to treat patients who are non compliant because their income depends on getting the right quality outcome.

Well, worked on some wiring yesterday. Stupid cold and humid yesterday. The thing about Texas cold is near freezing and 70% humidity and a light wind.....I'd rather it be 20 and no humidity and no wind.
I've run electrical many times but this is the first time that I've had to plan circuits and execute from scratch. Keep getting into analysis paralysis, but as with most things it will be over engineered. Electrical is where I am most critical of builders not planning ahead like location of swithes, 3 way circuits, planning for undercabinet lighting, floor recepticles, etc. If I miss one I'll kick myself forever.
Keeping to NEC code standards is pretty complicated and not always common sense. Bathroom has to have a dedicated 20amp GFCI, but can power other bathrooms, but not any fixtures outside the bathroom, but can't power other bathrooms if you put the bathrooms lighting fixtures on it and then the fixtures can only be a certain wattage....
Plus you have to have a dedicated circuit for the refrigerator....plus a 120v outlet within 25ft of the AC unit not downstream of equipment cut off.
Yadi yadi yadi.....

Thanks guys. Really starting to take shape. Boss lady is still debating exterior color. It will match the house. The question is whether I get to paint both the house and casita or just the casita to match the current color on the house. She wants to wait until the pool is in to see the color of the flagstone to make that call.
Pool will be pebble sheen finish. She’s still debating the color on that and has to make a decision in the next week or so. She likes the dark colors but since the pool is shallow she is concerned about it being too hot.
Ken that “dirt” is pure red clay. Good thing is there aren’t any real rocks to contend with.
Temp is 30 degrees cooler than yesterday and the wind is blowing. Looks like I’ll wire some circuits indoors today

Went back to hanging a little hardie and got the 100 amp sub panel hung and hole cut to the inside of the house to run romex. Silicone sealed around the conduit running inside the house and across the top of the panel where it meets the house.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

   Today I ran a temporary satellite cable to restore tv. Then started clearing the porches in advance of the flatwork. Empty shipping container came in handy. Also straightened up the shop a bit and am either going to hang some hardie or work inside on the electrical at the casita. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My dad was a union iron worker and spent years climbing 300+ feet in the air without a net (pre osha hard case days). And they also had Indians that were great climbers so there is something to it.

Overhead cutting in sheetrock or hardi is best left to the new guy and the biggest reason every site needs a new guy. Or a son.
unless you have one of these  they make them with a carbide cutter that will work on hardie too.

Knowing many in the medical field you want to save any criticism or offensive statements until AFTER the surgery or treatment.

The pool decking will mirror the full width of the house with the decking matching up to the porches on the front and back. Then when they do the decking in flagstone they'll also cover the porches in flagstone to match. The outdoor kitchen will be a 14x24 slab, also covered in flagstone, angled and centered between the main house and the casita to form a kind of arc of buildings that look out over the pond.
They'll tie the kitchen to the pool with a walkway and on the far side of the pool they'll pour a walkway and 18ft diameter area for a 6ft diameter fire pit.
Its going to rain some this weekend so I'm hoping they get gunnite shot today. Then hopefully I can get back to wrapping up hardie or wiring electrical.

the very high beds are more of a convenience and ease of harvesting. Few plants need soil that deep. He can grow the smaller plants in the shallow ends and bigger plants in the deep end.
Good job Blaine! Can't wait to see the results.

Would like more intel on the solar.
I debated FG for a long time and ultimately the ability to get warranty work and some stated issues with finish along with very few people willing to work with us this far out, I chose I local company that has been building pools, under the same name, for nearly 40 years.
