Monday and Tuesday, the bedroom end of the house got sheeted and the second floor and trusses were put in place. The loft will be a beautiful space. The septic tank is in place and has been inspected. I love the name of the system- Waterloo! Just too funny!
We had an absolutely beautiful day Wednesday- but no help. Shawn was ill and Andrew had an appointment. Only Fred and I were available, but we were able to get a few jobs done. We stayed until about 7:30, leveling the basement stone by spotlight.
After an early morning rain on Thursday, the day cleared. There were only three of us, but Shawn and Fred continued to work on the roof framing. My time was spent trying to get caught up on paperwork, running for supplies, gas and trying to keep the site as tidy as possible. John and his crew installed a new culvert to replace the one that was damaged by the heavy trucks. Now the water can drain under the drive, not over it!
Friday, the snow hit! It was quite pleasant to work for the most part, but the squalls were brutal. Andrew helped with the framing in the morning and then spent some time with me levelling the rest of the basement. I really felt for the Fred and Shawn up on the roof during those squalls!
John and his crew worked on digging holes for the sono tubes and Ryan dug the trench for the water line. Part of the process meant cutting some trees along what will be the path to the water from the house. It is becoming easier to visualize how the landscaping will look.
The plumbing system has been installed in the basement and is scheduled for inspection on Monday.
Although it is a beautiul cool, sunny winter morning, we are taking the day off to get some work done here then off to a party in Barrie! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again!
