We have yet to get our three clear days, and the west porch is still not done, but it is started. The guys started out on Monday putting in the foundation.
They hadn't gotten much further when the rain started.
The rain forced the guys indoors, but there was plenty of work waiting there too. Mostly wiring. Not only are they wiring for new lighting and electricity in the new sections, but I'm getting all the old stuff taken out and replaced with new and updated. I take no chances with electricity.
By Wednesday, the rain had disappeared to be replaced by a bitter cold. Those guys are tough though and they went back out in it.
Thursday was a slow day. One of the guys was out for personal reasons and Builder was out also. That left one of the guys, who did lots of little odds and ends that needed to be done around the place. He cut all the rafters and put in a form for the cement pad in the back needed for my geothermal unit. All stuff that doesn't show up that much, but has to be done and is in reality very important.
Then Friday came. All three of the guys were back, and working hard. With good reason. Snow was on the way. According to the weathermen it was suppose to show up about noon. It came in around 10:00. It started with a flake here and there, then a few more, and then it came down in buckets. It was just a bit too soon, so we didn't get the roof on, but the rafters are up and eventually it will get done.
The snow and the cold has stayed over the weekend with more snow being added as we've gone along. Today, the temps didn't even get above freezing and ice is coating everything. Needless to say nothing got done on the porch today. Builder did come over though and did a bit of wiring. The ductwork guys came over also and finished up all the ductwork inside the house for the geothermal system. While they were doing that, the guy from the geothermal company came out and said if the weather cleared they would be out tomorrow and try to get the system up and running by the end of the week. It is so exciting. I may have heat by the end of the week!!!!!
Tomorrow is suppose to be the day that it starts to clear. Everybody is suppose to be there tomorrow working, so maybe things will be done soon. Whoohoo!!!!
