House update: Tuesday

[electricland]

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch, John, Dan and I had udon noodle soup with tempura garnish. (Added broccoli this time and went overboard on the seaweed.)

Stuart decided to stay at the house, working on the second floor window. There's something about changing counterweights.

Wayne the Foam came at about 7:00, and John let him in and went to his class. I slept in.

Dan has been clearing out Jen's bedroom. He and John are going to pick up the notebook about the drywall estimate, buy drywall and greenboard for bathrooms.

John will continue wiring.

John called the NRC, and it turns out that the foam insulation is vapour barrier enough, BUT he finally got an outside expert who said that, yes, it is within specification, but local building inspectors have the right to make up their own minds. So, you all are going to have vapour barriers, because this district guy is a nut on vapour barriers. Which also means that the electrical boxes will have to have cute little plastic things around them.

Cheers all, Helen

See, this is (one of many reasons) why I love my uncle. When he wants to know something he will call the NRC and persist until he finds the answer.

Also, whee! my windows will close all the way!
