\"\"<\/a>We\u2019re happy to have the roof finally complete.\u00a0 Today, Saturday, December 17, it has been lightly snowing all day.\u00a0 Of course, the sliding door openings are still exposed to the weather, but the snow was out of the SW, so there was just a minimal of snow blown into the room.
\nWe\u2019ve looked into the \u2018smart fan\u2019 that is specified on the blueprints, but have decided it is a bit of over-kill.\u00a0 The \u2018smart fan\u2019\u00a0 will open a remote grill with a damper flap on it, whenever the exhaust fan is turned on.\u00a0 There is a powder room exhaust fan, two paddle fans a 6\u2019 sliding glass door and a 9\u2019 sliding door right in the tub room, plus all the awning windows can be opened, so we\u00a0 think there will be plenty of circulation with just a regular exhaust fan in the ceiling near the west wall.
\nI asked and the builder says he can expand the powder room door from 28\u201d to a 32\u201d opening.\u00a0 This is the minimum width for a wheelchair to fit through.\u00a0 ADA also specifies that the door open into the room, so that if you flop, you don\u2019t block the door.\u00a0 I want the door to open into the powder room, so I\u2019m not always walking into a partially opened door.\u00a0 If one of us does require a wheelchair, we\u2019ll take off the door and put up a curtain.\u00a0 Once you\u2019re in a wheelchair, you have no privacy anyway!
\nAccording to the schedule, Dave should be priming the drywall, but we\u2019re no where near that point yet;\u00a0 about 2-1\/2 weeks behind schedule.
\nOn Tuesday, the builder was here for most of the day.\u00a0 He was laying the 2\u201dx4\u201d sleepers and insulation on the floor.\u00a0 The Town Building Inspector came and approved the set-up.
\nWednesday, I left early with Dave to go into work with him for the day.\u00a0 They were having a Christmas luncheon and I was invited, too.\u00a0 It was nice and I did a lot of work on my laptop computer and listened to BARD.\u00a0 It was a long day and I was really tired when I got home.\u00a0 We ate the left-overs Dave had brought from the luncheon.\u00a0 While we were gone,\u00a0 the builder removed the peope garage door and worked more on the flooring.
\nThursday, the plumbers are coming in and out from the basement and porch.\u00a0 I\u00a0 haven\u2019t heard them muttering about the basement, but it sure is a mess.
\nBy late Friday afternoon, the Powder room doorway had been widened,the people garage doorway had been moved and the 6foot sliding door installed. It is wood framed 2 panel arrangement, with vinyl outside and natural wood on the inside.\u00a0 It is quite a sturdy sliding door and looks nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
