Aaron helped me again today and we got the tankless waterheater hung on the south wall outside the garden tub. The compartment that we built underneath the unit is for access in case we have a pipe to freeze.
Howell King came back today and ALMOST got the wiring finished and ready for the rough in inspection on Tuesday. He'll come back Sunday after church and button things up. In the meantime he gave me some last minute assignments like putting covers on all the junction boxes. Aaron began tidying up around the cottage... here's the pile of junk wood we'll use this winter for kindling in our wood stove. The stack actually looks bigger than it is because of the numerous pallets that make up the bulk of the pile.
Here are some photos of miscellaneous things related to our building project... this is a shot of the "guest loft." There is just one sheet of plywood flooring up there now (and no walls) while we wait on the cellulose insulation to be blown in:
This is a shot of the kitchen window from the outside with 2" X 4" styrofoam trim which will be covered with stucco in the near future (the wood support nailed on the bottom trim piece will be removed):
This is a long shot of the front of the cottage looking over one of our wood piles (our 16' X 20' storage building is in the distance):
And here we have Boone-Dog grooming Mosby who is wearing his stylish orange winter coat. Mosby is essentially NEKKID because his fur is so short and needs his coat this time of year to keep him from shivering.
The rough in electrical inspection will be a MAJOR milestone for our building progress. Assuming we pass the rough in, I'll immediately go down the mountain and pick up Aaron who will help me put up our white tin ceiling (approx 2 days). As soon as that is finished we'll insulate the attic (one day), stain the concrete (2 days)(it'll be a "chicory" color and look like beige suede) and begin moving cabinets and STUFF into the house. We'll physically move over soon after that.
