Construction Day 170 October 9 |
We have completed the installation of the piping for the air compressor lines. We passed the insulation inspection and now we are ready for drywall. We are getting finals on the quotes for drywall and will make the decision on the contractor today. Drywall is being delivered tomorrow. |
Construction Day 169 October 3 Even if we are not making a lot of progress on the house, there is some great news!! The asshole, problem-causing, complaint-filing, prick of a neighbor put his house up for sale. Of course, he is asking way too much because he is such a jerk, but at least it is a start. He will have to clean up his property to make it presentable and that will be a huge improvement for the rest of the neighborhood. |

In the meantime, we are running pipe for the air compressor lines to the second floor of the garage. We are also pulling cable from the house to the garage and from the current house to the new house for cable, phone, and computer network. |
