One other visible sign of progress - the cover was installed over the valve to shut off the house water. The temporary water spigot was cut off and capped.
In LoMD, the main water line is run about 12" underground to the side of the house. A plastic shutoff valve is installed and a section of 4" drainpipe is placed upright over this valve. To help keep this clear and accessible, a sprinkler valve box with cover is placed over this 4" drainpipe.
I was surprised that the temporary water spigot, placed in the main line just after the water meter, was just cut off about 1" below ground level and capped, rather than being completely removed. We'll have to remember where it is so we don't try to plant a shrub there later and break the line.
