Its still raining and pretty cold.  Robert and I charted out which plugs go to which
equipment/plugs/light switches.  We are still unsure about one top floor bedroom, but
we have all the other rooms mapped out. The electrician will start on Tuesday changing
out the breaker panel and replacing all the inside plugs  and switches. The aluminum wire
will be pigtailed for safety and GFI ; protected plugs will be added in the bathrooms
and kitchen.
 We  headed into Cedarpark to get a special shovel for trenching in the new water plumbing
we are adding ( the  old plumbing has even Robert stumped) .  We stopped at the Tractor and
Supply store and found a complete pump and pressure tank kit for 274$ +49$ for a 5 year
warranty+ a black 3000 gal tank in  their back lot for 1100$.  To be perfectly safe, we will
add a sediment filter and an ultraviolet filter before it enters the house.  The water tank
will be filled by the Chinatown Water Works 2000 gallon truck with genuine Cedar Park
water at 65$ per load.  They can come up on a couple hours notice. The hardness will be  about
the  same as Garmisch water.  Tomorrow we will build a pad for the tank over in the trees and
do some more plumbing up to the house and out to the street.
