More Construction Stories

So here is what has transpired since last I wrote. Wife and I discussed the windows and the sliding doors and decided to leave them as-is because the cons of replacing them outweigh the pros. The roofers came and put on the roof. The electricians came and put in the wires, and the insulation guy came and insulated the walls. All this was done during the freezing cold past week or so, in which we also had an ice storm (reminiscent of the one in ’78). The dogs refused to go outside for a couple of days because the backyard was coated in ice. It began to thaw this weekend which was quiet and my son and I arranged his room so nothing was touching the walls. Yesterday the siding guy came and took off the outer layer of the house and put this slippery paper-like stuff up in preparation of installing the siding. Today the inspector from the town is supposed to come. We’ll see. More to follow!

Reading a really good book: Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman. It’s about time I found a work of fiction that I like. Been too long. Also, watched a good video last night: Robot Stories. Not your typical science-fiction.
