This past week we got roofing/decking material applied to our new roof/balcony. A banner day here at the Hammershack, where falling rain is a soothing sound once again!
We could not wait for City Light’s mysteriously cumbersome process of moving our power line to complete, so there is about a 2.5″ hole where the existing power line still drops through. It’s well protected, or as well protected as it can be.
Just a couple more things to do before we are weatherproof– a parge coat needs to go on the west lower wall before that last downstairs window can go in, and just a wee bit more Tyvek (we’ve been picking up scraps from friends to avoid buying another big roll) and then the closet window upstairs.
Once we are weatherproof, Morgan will go back to earning money for a few months and we will hang in limbo. We don’t have heat or insulation, so the prediction of a mild winter is welcome. We at least will have a container around us that stops the wind, which is way better than we had last year!
Now, where did I stash those electric blankets…?
