Monday, December 12 \u2013 Well, one of the reasons why our builder doesn\u2019t show up, might be because the Architect likes his work and has asked him to supervise the framers on another job.\u00a0 They are the same framers that did our wing. On the good days when the builder doesn\u2019t show up,\u00a0 I wonder if he is working on the Architect\u2019s project?<\/p>\n
Tuesday, December 13\u00a0 –\u00a0 Dave and I took off early on this beautiful, sunny morning to drive to the Board of Elections office in Syracuse.\u00a0 I\u00a0 had been invited to test the software up-date for the handicapped accessible voting machines, also called BMD (ballot marking device).\u00a0 I\u2019d used the BMD for the 2010 and 2011 elections and I think they have made several good improvements, but I hope they\u2019ll tweak it a bit more.<\/p>\n
We arrive home around 2:30 to find our builder installing the wall for the powder room.\u00a0 Then, we walked around with him as he marked locations for the electrician to thread his wiring.\u00a0 We had just enough time to get to the Pal-Mac High School to watch Tyler swim in several events.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, December 14 \u2013 Late this morning, the builder scared the heck out of my guide dog and me, by flopping bundles of shingles on the old dining room roof.\u00a0 Apparently, he is going to try to get them nailed down before the rain, which is forecasted to\u00a0 return this evening.\u00a0 He finished the south wing\u2019s roof ridge, but left the section over the old dining room for another day.<\/p>\n
Dave came home early to do a\u00a0 walk-through with the electrician.\u00a0 The builder had marked many of the spots we\u2019d talked about, so the electrician\u00a0 said yea or nay and made some suggestions, according to codes.\u00a0 He asked good questions and I think the electrical set-up of switches for lights, fans, and outlets will be very efficient.<\/p>\n
We went to the Newark High School pool to watch Tyler swim.\u00a0 He came in first in the 100 yard Free Style and the relay team came in 2nd<\/sup>.\u00a0 He looked up at us when he won the first and smiled, giving us the thumbs-up sign.<\/p>\n Thursday, December 15 \u2013 The builder is working on the roof section over the old dining room and the electrician is drilling, hammering, and whatever else he does to run the needed wires through the studs to connect everything.\u00a0 The hot tub will require a special \u2018break away\u2019 (panic) box that will cut-off the electricity to the tub if there is a problem.\u00a0 Code states that the box must be visible\u00a0 no closer than 6\u2019 and no farther away than 9\u2019, otherwise, we\u2019d put it behind the tub.<\/p>\n Friday, Dec16 \u2013 Both the electrician and builder are here today, continuing what they were doing yesterday. \u00a0The roof is now complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monday, December 12 \u2013 Well, one of the reasons why our builder doesn\u2019t show up, might be because the Architect likes his work and has asked him to supervise the framers on another job.\u00a0 They are the same framers that did our wing.
