Remodel, day 25
Sep. 20th, 2007 08:35 pmThings are heating up! Brent keeps saying, "Trusses on Friday," and I go, cool, except that I have no idea what that means. (Well, I finally asked today, and he said it's for the roof.) Now it's all starting to take shape -- walls going up, openings where windows will be. It's fascinating to see what it will look like. There are some hangups on the door, and about stuff in the utility room, but with any luck we'll work around it. Or bulldoze through it, one or the other.
He also kindly brought me four radiator style portable heaters because the weather turned so suddenly cold. The other night I got back late, and turned them all on, two of them on high setting, because the house was so freaking cold. I promptly blew the breaker, and couldn't find anything to let me see, so I tried to reset the switches blindly in the dark. That however did not work very well. Fortunately there's a huge streetlight on the front corner and the alley corner, so going out to the garage was easy enough to do. And I couldn't find my emergency lights at all. I have no idea where they were stashed, and I've looked everywhere. But one of the plumbers who put a bid in on the job left his light here, which I've kept in the garage for him, and after wandering around trying to solve this problem, I finally remembered it and was able to reset the breakers. And then I did it again today when I ran the vacuum. Sigh. I long for some clean electricity.
( Half again as much house as before )
