MORE PIPES

AUGUST 2, 2010


Frank began working on waste water plumbing. He put in the needed vents, and also hooked up the gas lines for the range and the dryer. The inspector was here this morning and gave Frank the okay to begin doing dry wall.




























He made an entrance into the attic.......















and put a laundry sink in the laundry room.







We decided to make cabinets on both sides of the shower. Frank filled in the deepest part of the area back there, to make it easier to reach the back of the shelves. Jason has been here for several hours on a couple days. He has the main heating and cooling ducts in, and today began working on coming up through the floor into the main part of the house. Notice the one circular duct by the chimney chase.




























Frank put hydrants on both ends of the house.






























Today he started working on putting the soffits on the main part of the house.










Meanwhile, I have finished sanding, even the tongues and groove themselves, and have stained the boards. Next I will need to do a light sanding, and then put on the finishing coats. Our problem is not being able to acquire any more of the finish we have been using. It was water base polyurethane. We can't figure out why it is being phased out in PA, because the state is trying to move away from oil-based products.




Last Thursday was Rain Day. Supposedly it has rained on July 29Th in Greene County 110 times since they began keeping records in 1874. Make that 111, because we had a drizzle early in the day this year. The local people have quite a celebration with lots of food, games, a beauty pageant, and all sorts of things to buy. Frank and I went in (during the drizzle) for a buckwheat pancake breakfast.
