Well, we have had a few Good Things happen:
- Ottawa Hydro said they will pay $100 towards the cost of the blower test. Yay!!! That's all we're ever going get from anybody for building an energy efficient house.
- We found a place to live! It's clearly obvious from the photos that there's no way on God's Green Earth that we will be able to move in at the end of January. Fortunately some neighbours are letting us rent their small cottage. It really is small, about 350 sq ft!
On the Bad Things front:
- the weather was really bad today. It started last night with freezing rain and turned to rain this morning. The road into Jiulia Lake was incredibly icy even before today's weather -- I hit a bump on Monday afternoon and started sliding sideways down the road. Today's rain made the road 10 times worse. The crew and drywallers left around lunch time and it took over an hour as a combined effort to get everyone out.
- Surprisingly, the garage doors have not arrived yet.
- Freda and I feel like we've been taken advantage of by some people. That is very disappointing.
The movers come next Saturday to take our belongings to our new house. We plan to store them there until we can move in, which we expect to be the 3rd week of February.
This weekend Freda and I are renting a van to take some fragile things over to the house.
