Week 15 - Weekend

Too cute.

Week 15 - Weekend

On Anna's advice, and I really wanted to do it anyway, I took down the ceiling in my bedroom area this weekend. Enlisted a friend to come help.  Anybody's guess who it is.



Week 15 - Day 69

Friday
Not much to report today and just a couple of pictures. Things are moving along and feels like the house is being put back together, so all is good. Here is Anna, the electrician.

Week 15 - Day 68

Thursday
Glad to see that Gabe is using a harness while putting the shingles up. Will is installing the soffit now that the roof is done.  Awkward areas for both of them, but they could chit chat while they were working.




Week 15 - Day 68

Thursday
Came home to new stairs today. Very exciting.  Have been looking forward to those for two years.

Week 15 - Day 68

Thursday
Full house today, electricians Marcus and Anna are here for their first day sussing things out.

Week 15 - Day 67

Wednesday
Evening now, and now there is no water pressure to speak of in the shower.   Grrrr.. The shut off valve over the the hot water tank is no longer there and it too cold and dark to investigate the main shut off valve. Hoping it isn't open all the way and the basement shower retains it's fabulousness. 

Week 15 - Day 67

Wednesday
Well, no hot water this morning. The tank was bound to go sometime as it is 10 years old.  Will ran out this afternoon to get another electrical tank after some discussion on which way to go. Turns out there was a broken wire in the cable and the old tank is working fine, so not sure if we will keep the new one or not. We now have some time to decide if we keep with the electrical tank or go in some other direction. 
Plumbers are still working hard, they are putting in all the drains first. They check for leaks by filling the stacks with water and then wait and see. 




Week 15 - Day 66

Tuesday
My skylight came in today.  Huge, but they promise me it won't look as big when installed. The plumbers are still working around, nice picture of the new stack, if you like that sort of thing. And our friend Bill came by to help Linda take up the rest of the parquet on her floor and some tiles that he thinks are asbestos.  Take a look at the dust on the television.



Week 15 - Day 66

Tuesday
Will and Gabe bringing in some extra shingles for patching up the back of the house where the old door was.  Required some creativity on their part and looks good.

Week 15 - Day 66

Tuesday
Look at me, behind again. Lots of activity going on, hard to keep up.  Gabe has been thinking on the stairs for the main deck.  We have had plenty of rain lately so can't be fun.  No leaks in the house though!
