The skylights are in and the roof is patched! The roofer only charged $150 to add flashing and fix a minor mistake. Everyone should add skylights...it makes such a big difference. There is so much light upstairs now. The morning sun just streams in. It's absolutely wonderful.
The electrician comes next Saturday to rework everything. We cannot wait to get that behind us so that we can move on to insulation and drywall. It's not going to be an easy feat.
We had a bit of a mishap the other night. We heard a huge crash as we were getting ready for bed. It sounded like someone fell. Upon further investigation, the light cover in the baby's room full of water crashed down onto the rug below, sending at least a gallon of water splashing across the room. Luckily, the baby takes after his grandfather and didn't even stir, even during cleanup and the split-splat of water collecting in the 5-gallon bucket below.
After a quick solder attempt (fail), two tests, and a removal of pipe and then a re-solder, the elbow on the last run to the water heater was repaired just before 11pm. The baby's rug is still outside drying. We just hope the bay between the two joists is drying as quickly.
We'll add a few nailers in the closet, so that it's easier to hang rods and shelves, and where we may hang a TV brace. We also have to run our cable to a spot for the computer.
Keep you posted on the electrical....hoping it doesn't run us any more than $2500.
Probably not going to be moved up there by Labor Day weekend, but hoping for October 13- birthday! Wondering if it's all worth it now?
