Overall: A full week of very cold winter temperatures. Working outside all day was exhausting. I increased the layers and types of clothing mid-week, making the situation more tolerable. I simply cannot find a siding contractor, so Kyle and I have begun installing soffit & fascia. Working on the portions of both buildings which will receive seamless gutters.
Monday: By myself all day. Working on central vacuum piping and inlet locations. Also worked on the shop electrical plan.
Tuesday: Kyle completed framing the shop 1/2 bath to accept the wall mounted toilet. I pulled wire in the shop building. Then outside to begin soffit & fascia installation.
Wednesday: All day installing soffit & fascia. Plumber also here today working to complete his rough-in task
Thursday: Warmest day of the week, but still in the low 30’s . Outside soffit & fascia installation continues.
Friday: HVAC crew was on site all day today, and completed rough-in of aircon ductwork, and ductwork for bath fans. Kyle and I installed fascia & soffit for the front porch.
Saturday: Stayed inside all day, didn’t even leave the house. Spent hours at the computer doing file maintenance, deleting emails, and searching for a wide range of construction materials needed in the next couple weeks. Also used the time to relax a bit. I was arriving home very tired all week after being outside in the cold all day. Hope to be more resilient in the coming weeks, getting accustomed to the winter weather.
Sunday: almost a repeat of Saturday, except for an early AM trip to Menards. My internet wandering, finally stumbled onto a terrific central vacuum website. Ordered 600 bucks of PVC pipe and fittings for the central vacuum system. On a side note; this was the first weekend since April that I was not at the site on Saturday and/or Sunday. Needed a break and it felt good to relax at home.
