The Vaproshield building wrap provides the Lake Louise colour!
After a four-day weekend, it seems “everyone” decided to work on our house today:
Natural gas pipe fittings
The heating guys, working on the natural gas outlets
Crawlspace - 5' high
The plumbers (who changed the location of the main drain from the middle of the crawlspace room to the side – makes sense!)
Gutter forming machine
The gutter guys, with their amazing continuous gutter-bending machine. Now I understand why the gutter guys are defined by their “profile,” or the shape of their gutters – it would be too costly to get more than one gutter-bender – we choose the profile we like best. We’re getting a leaf guard to a) make gutter-cleaning much easier for old D, and b) keep the water cleaner for our rainwater collection system.
John installs electrical boxes
The electrician, who met with me for an hour or so going over the locations of various electrical connections/switches/plugs – way too many decisions – my head hurts. Then he (John) started by placing all the boxes before running wire.
Ron, working on the exterior window trim, and D, re-staining fascia so the gutter guys can take advantage of the rare good weather to start, and using up all my dipped shingles.
I did two batches of shingle-dipping, after cleaning up the huge mess in the shingle corner that our gale-forced winds made on the weekend. BTW, if you’re ever using shingles, don’t leave them out in the weather. Not only are they perfect nests for insects and spiders, but they take forever to dry out so that you can stain them. I squeezed in some filling/sanding of the beautiful fir window returns today, too. And, I admired the fireplace:
