Tonight we finished laying bamboo floors and got the fridge and dishwasher in place. Tim installed a lever and deadbolt on the deck doors. Earlier today Jason, our electrician, did some more trim out electrical on the first floor fans. The drywallers chopped a wire when they were here, so that added a good deal of time to Jason's troubleshooting.
Tim, Carlos and Fernando got some more decking down today but we'll save the photos of the deck for next week when there's more to see. Some of us were experiencing lung irritation yesterday and today, and the jury's out on whether it was due to last night's ammonia leak following an explosion at a nearby cold storage facility, or Ipe sawdust, which Fernando says can be somewhat abrasive.
Tomorrow our good friends Leslie and Kevin are going to help us move our furniture, books, and other odds and ends from the apartment over to the house. The house isn't quite ready for full-on living, but we have a fully functioning bathroom on the second floor, and tomorrow Dean is scheduled up our basement utility sink, dishwasher and washing machine, which will give us the essential plumbing we need for our daily routines.
This photo is taken from the front door. This is what the view from the front door looked like a year ago.
