Day 84 - Exterior Framing







The first floor's exterior framing is done. Tomorrow, plywood goes up. AFTER the window problem is remedied.






Day 84 - A Glitch in the Kitchen




This is the back wall to the kitchen. The transom windows are supposed to be six inches from the top of the ceiling (10-foot walls) as is the kitchen sink window in the center.
As it is now, the sink will be mounted to glass and there will be no room for cabinets.
Measure twice, cut once.
In this case, read three times, measure twice, cut once.
Dan will fix these tomorrow. And we will be up there again to make sure it's right.

Day 85 - The HORROR

We are STILL waiting for Connecticut Light & Powers to get its shit together concerning our electrical power.

Followed up on the follow up AGAIN on Friday and it turns out that the dingbats THREW AWAY our maps believing they were incorrect.

After surveyor and attorney review, it turns out that the maps they threw out WERE correct.

WHAT THE &#^$#?

Frank will raise hell on Monday with superiors and I will be incredibly patient with those at fault while fantasizing about wringing her little neck.

The Good Cop/Bad Cop method has worked well for us in the past.

Let's see how we fare this time.
