 | Spent the day at the site cleaning up and helping Mark & Cody.
The HVAC continues. It is something out of a space oddity in our
downstairs. Big silver tubes running everywhere. Cody accommodated
our request to not run the main pipe right down what will be the main
walkway in the storage space, so we have a little more piping, elbowing, and
runs than we might otherwise. We didn't have good light downstairs so
I don't have any good pictures. |
| Mark has been working his butt off with Cody. Poor guy is
exhausted. Now he did get a mini-vacation to go snowmobiling up in
Penticton, so I don't feel too bad for him, but he has been working. |
| The plumbers are done. I took some pictures of the plumbing.
I'll post a few, but they're not that exciting to anyone else but me &
Mark. |
| The electrician is starting on Monday. We had a walk-thru with him
on Tuesday planning out where all the switches and plugs will be and how we
want to be able to control things. |
| We continue to try and dry out the house, we're investigating
dehumidifiers next. |
| Mark and Cody have been doing the HVAC for the last two days, progress,
progress, progress. They've been working late. Late enough that
I've been coming over to the house after work when it's still dark
out. Has made for some interesting nighttime photos. |
| We've started to dry out the house a bit with the big space heater and
fans. Mark sealed off the open doors with plastic and has been heating
the place up. |
| The neighbor's dog Jobo has been hanging out with Mark & Cody for the
last two nights. The dog is addicted to chasing the flashlight on the
ground. |
| Mark's mum is coming down to see the house next week. She is so
excited. She's gonna cry. Me too. |
| My Valentine's Day gift was a furnace. I'm thrilled!
What a house-building dork I am. |
| They finished installing all the windows on the main floor today.
Mark said they were very heavy and very awkward to handle. He was
helping the three framers and the four of them were still really struggling
with it. |
| The roofers are finishing up. Know how they clean off the
roof? Leaf blower! |
| We had a little design problem over the front door. The side roof
came under the gable over the front door (yes, I know, I know, look
at the pictures!). The framers had followed the plans, but once it was
done, it didn't look good. So we had them fix it. Yes, it was
extra, but it wasn't that hard to fix and it's one of those things that
every time we drove up (down) to the house I would've noticed it.
We're all about 'no changes' and living with the things we designed, but
this one we could fix and we both agreed that we wanted to fix it. |
| Brother-in-law is on board to do the HVAC (heating, venting, AC) which
we're thrilled about. He's excited to do it, we know he'll do it
right, we'd much rather pay him than anyone else. I love knowing who
worked on the house. |
