Day 228 - An incredible November morning

This is the status of the roofing on Monday morning. The shingling is pretty much done on the other side of the house at the back. The front is all done.

It was an incredible day for November, a balmy 6-7C! A great day for roofing, and much warmer than it was last week!

Yesterday I posted a picture of the solarium window with a piece of plywood fastened over it. Well, the missing solarium window arrived yesterday.

In other news...
The septic system was inspected today, and passed. Yippee! Now it can be backfilled.

The plumber came today to continue with the roughin.

The electrician was supposed to come tomorrow but won't be able to start until Wednesday due to a delay on the current job.

Concrete for garage floor should happen this week.

Fascia/soffit/etc should start this week. That will be the Sandalwood colour, as previously noted in the Nov 13th entry.

We are getting our final quotes for the trim. For some bizarre reason, the phone and fax for our supplier of choice say "The number you have reached is out of service" but they are still in business. Bizarre!

Confirmed that we are on the schedule for the garage doors installer. Hopefully he will be able to do that in a week or so. He needs the floor poured first (of course) and the aluminum wrap installed on the garage door frame. The doors will be Garaga Standard+ XL in Claystone with raised panels. I wanted to get the wide raised panels, but it is not available in the widths we need.

Schedule woes...
Charles told us on Saturday that it is pretty much certain that we won't be able to move as planned on Jan 25th. Unfortunately, this means we need to find some place to live for a few weeks, or a month at worst.
