Porch Renovation 14

December 24 and 25 passed with everyone on vacation.  Then, on Monday and Tuesday, the builder was on site completing the sub-flooring for the whole addition  plus adding the ‘hurricane clips’.  These clips will keep the roof from sailing off during any strong wind action, which we experience a lot, since we’re on top of a drumlin.  On Wednesday, the boys came over for the day.  I thought it would be a perfect time for them to race their RC cars out on the ample surface of the sub-flooring, but apparently, it was too cold for the boys to stay out there for long.

Yesterday and today are quite cold and there is no progress on the south wing.  The JBT’s all came over to have dinner with us and to give us time to be with CJ.  He is adorable and has so many cute tricks up his sleeves.

Friday brought the builder over to tie up some loose ends and hope that the electrical inspector and the insulation fellow would show up.

The electrical inspection will occur  on Tuesday and the architect  will be coming, too.  Roger has a punch list to discuss with the builder.

John Devitt of The Advanced Thermal  outfit was here and, instead of foaming the ceiling, we’ll stick to the original blueprints of having the foam in the walls and fiber-glass bats in the ceiling.
