The carpenters started the molding that goes on top of the kitchen cabinets and we finally have steps to go into the garage.
The plumber came and drilled holes into the kitchen cabinet for the hot and cold water pipes to connect to the sinks which we'll install once we have a counter top.
Today Bills here with Keith and Joe to start the heating! They're running water through the radiant tubes this morning. The temperatures dropped to freezing last night so it's really cold down in the basement today. My fingers are frozen. Last week it was so hot I had to open all the windows and was sure summer was already here!
It's 2.30 pm and they are still working away. The humidifier is being wired up, Keith seems to be doing lots of wiring!! Bill is checking out the water tanks and checking all the electrical connections are done correctly.
I'm waiting for JP to return to finish the garage manifolds! He promises he'll be back!
4.22 pm - the geo is on!! Now we wait. 4.32 pm - I feel the heat blowing out the vents!
JP has also set up garage manifold.
So what an eventful day- it is wonderful to know that at least the first floor heating works.
However today doesn't end there. While I was changing the color of the grout I had bought at Home Depot, Oleg the tile guy called! So here I am back at the house for the evening shift!
Oleg is starting to do the slate tiles in the back mudroom. What a pain these tiles are! Not only are they fragile and flaky but they are not all the same depth! It will be a challenge to have a leveled floor! What were we thinking when we chose them! Good old porcelain- I understand why people love it now.
