November 25 - Moving Right Along

The siding guys did a bit more today. It was very windy which is why we think that more wasn't done. Went right from work to have a look in daylight then back after dinner to do some work. It was still very windy tonight...30 km/hr with gusts to 50 km/hr. Wish our wood stove was in and we could just sit by a toasty fire!

The painter started today and sprayed all of the inside with the primer coat. So now it is all white. It might not look like much but it is very exciting to see this happening! :) Marshall will meet him at the house tomorrow to confirm what colour is for what room. Painter said he will do all ceilings tomorrow as they will all be white.

The plumber was on site today and plumbed for the washer & laundry sink in the faux wall that Alanna & Marshall built last week. Since this is on an outside wall the pipes can't go in the wall (they'll freeze) and a little 'wall' had to be built.

We put the drywall up tonight and got one coat of mud on. I must say that with my wonderful teacher (Marshall, of course) I did ok with my first drywall attempt of cutting the holes & screwing on the sheet. We didn't want to hold up the painters for this little area, it will be painted after. Laundry tub will be on the right, washer in the middle and dryer on the left. (This is under the window).

I ordered all the light fixtures today. Most are in stock but some might take about a month. Once the painting is done, the electricians will be busy installing plugs, switches & the fixtures we can get right away.
