Phew! Our internet connection has been out of order, and I have to write from my mom's computer. We've made great progress lately. The plumber has come and is nearly finished doing all the plumbing rough-in. We've recieved the parts for all the HRV (Heat recovery ventilation)unit and I've been running the ductwork myself. A bit of a learning curve, but there aren't any prizes for perfection, so...whatever.We've finished the tyvek, and all the exterior trim and corner boards save a few little bits. It has been so so so cold lately, ugh. It's hard to imagine it ever thawing out enough to stain the siding, I'm not sure what we'll do about that...we may have to bring it inside to stain it once it we've insulated. Anyway, it still sits in a huge pile outside. Also, some bad news on the HEA front...they finally arrived last week with the big machinery and started to dig the trench across the road to lay the power line from the transformer to the house. Well, within a few minutes they determined that the ground was too frozen to dig and we'd have to wait to spring. I was initially freaked out, but we've figured out that we can run a temporary line up a pole to go across the road and that it won't affect our mortgage. Phew!
