Undeterred by the total abstinence of comments, I will make today a "Record Breaker" (who remembers that kids programme? R.I.P. Roy Castle. Thanks for some fun memories.) and post 2 blogs in one day!! This 2nd one will be short though..well probably will be!
Progress to report today:
1. Well item 1 is actually old news..the large excavator returned to the lot yesterday in readiness for the drainage pit excavation to start tomorrow (I'll be there camera in hand....how sad is that?! Well maybe I will depends how early I feel like getting out of bed) It was a young lady who returned the excavator ..I was impressed! The drainage pits are having to be larger than on the original drawings as we have more impervious cover than at first calculated. Larger pits means more $s of course, but Rick assures me that he has negotiated well!
2. Electricians still beavering away.
3. Met with holiday light man..and all agreed there. I opted not to have the red bulbs thoigh, as I decided that if we cannot afford the swimmng pool I will seek more conventional, even if not as exciting, means of earning those funds!
4. Central vac now been demonstrated and outlet locations, in principle, agreed, so that is another box ticked off. Phew!
5. Date stone font and wording agreed - tick another box!
6. Siding started to be put up
Still seems to be some soffits to be put in..and more plumbing, HVAC etc but we are making progress.
More tomorrow.....hopefully. Very excited as Rebecca & I are off wedding dress shopping tomorrow! The camera will therefore be put to much better use ..so much more fun than taking photos of soffits, wiring etc etc!!
If you have read this it would be great to hear from you!!!!
Photo descriptions:
a) HVAC equipment in attic
b) Fuse boxes in basement
c) Pex system - project in progress
d) The soffits - look fab (especially against the beautiful blue sky!)
Hi sunshine. Thanks for the update. I agree that the soffits look great. Presumably the insulated "room" around the HVAC will be constructed once the system is installed. The wiring is certainly coming along too. Keep up the great work you are doing managing the project. Love you. Ian xxx
