Last Week's Happenings

Again there were a lot of changes made to the house. Is there a week that will go by where I don't make that comment?! The shingles were finished on a very hot and humid day! The roofers started at 6:00 am hoping they could be done before the heat really hit, I think they finished around 2:00 so it was quite warm (32C, 45C with the humidity, or 89F, 113F with humidity). The house wrap was finished and the windows and doors have been installed, except the dormer windows, the track hoe lift will be needed for those. The garage floor has been packed and levelled and hopefully ready to be poured soon. Ron has been busy making decisions at the house that don't need my involvement so I feel a little out of the loop. We had been quite busy last week as well so I didn't get over there too much to keep my own mental notes as to what has all happened. I'm sure there was more but right now I can't remember!

Most of the windows are in. The big picture window in the great room was installed Friday morning with the forklift and a few guys! I was busy packing up for our camping weekend so I didn't get over there to take pictures of the ordeal. It was probably best that I didn't!

Front windows and door. We're looking forward to sitting in front of those on the veranda!

The view of the dining room.

The interior insullation began this morning, apparently the drywallers could possibly start on Friday! The plumbers are installing pipes in the basement for the laundry room and bathroom. It will be a while before the in-floor heat is installed in the basement. Ron said it's still pretty mushy down there, not sure how long it will take for it to dry out. Everytime I think the house is humming along I remember the basement floor still needs to be done and then I'm brought back to reality. It may not delay the move-in date, it's just shuffled the work order around, maybe??
