Thursday recap
Lots of activity today. Carmine the plumber came by to take a preliminary first look. The boiler is good and he sees no need for it to move it but recommended to place the water tank in the same area. Since the chimney serves as the vent for the boiler, some advice of how to vent the thing was needed. He had a walk through the house and we talked about the placement of the radiators and sinks etc and the need to be ready for where we will want things.
A bin for the drywall came and went, a bin for the rocks and bricks came and went. The engineer came and signed off on the footing prep. I assume the city inspector came today, as they are pouring the cement tomorrow. They are doing two now and then the last three next week. The chimney is a memory.
Gabe and Will started on the ridge beams to support the roof. Interesting, just like watching Holmes and Holmes. Can't stop watching. We have nothing to compare to, but things are moving and I am happy about that. Will and Gabe are working very hard and are appropriately dirty at the end of the day.
What else? Cat doing okay. Stuck around this morning for a bit in my room but as soon as the banging started made a b-line for the garage. The little calico kitten and Poem keep wandering through, they don't seem to mind. Dust is always around, but all still good. The makeshift kitchen in the laundry room is working out and the BBQ is handy.
We have yet to make a decision about the stairs and Will is getting antsy about that.
