Snow… cold… feels like winter!

automation wiring, insulation, radiant heat
I can hardly contain myself at how excited I am to soon have HEAT! The blog updates and pictures have been a little sparse over the past week because it’s been so darn cold, the evening so early, and we so busy with the automation wiring that I haven’t had many good...

Andersen window operator, automation wiring
There has been a whole lot accomplished with the automation system. Major complements to my dad for being the prime mover behind making it all happen. I was a little bit nervous about working with my dad on all this wiring, because we don’t always see eye to eye (I am an...

laminate flooring, Pensotti boiler, radiant heat, siding
Sure has been a busy week, trying to keep up with all the tradesmen’s questions and making sure that we’re staying ahead of the builders with our automation wiring. I spent a good part of the weekend with my father running over 2000 feet of audio/automation wiring, and then until...

automation, beautiful day, siding
Spent the morning/early afternoon running another thousand feet of automation wire with dad. No pictures of that progress yet (I’ll take some tomorrow).  How about a few more pictures of the siding to hold everyone over until I feel like writing more.

direct vent, electrical, plumbing, siding
There was a bustle of other activity throughout the house. The electrician has just about finished the rough wiring for the main portions of the house and has now moved to working in the garage. The mechanical/plumbers made their way well into installing the vents. And, the...

audio, wiring
Had a pretty remarkable day working up on the hill with… go figure… my dad! No arguing, father/son back and forth, just put your head down get a bunch of work done type going at it. We actually made quite the team and pulled 1000 feet of speaker wire to several locations...

Siding and Electrical

automation, electrical, Leviton enclosures, siding
What happened to all our sunlight? It’s amazing how short the days get up here in northern Maine as we near the winter solstice and the sun starts to lose its energy. Lately it’s been rather cold in the mornings and rather dark in the afternoons, especially with all...

So yeah, it has been a few days, but I’ve just been so busy getting everything ready for the electrical (i.e. the high-voltage and low voltage stuff) that I’ve been focusing in on that. You should see the Excel document with 7 worksheets, one in particular with more...

What a bustle of activity up on the hill today! I was so busy this morning working on webpages and doing homework that I didn’t make it up to the job site until 2 PM. By that time the sun was shining full force through all the front windows and even without insulation I...

Andersen Windows, HAI Omnipro II, roofing, siding
A couple pictures from early this morning, show the roofers well on their way and the majority of the windows installed.  If I took these photos a few hours later… say 5 PM this afternoon it would be dark, but you’d see that all the windows in place, just a little bit of...

beautiful day, dirt, fascia, roofing, soffit, trim
It was a real treat to feel the 60+ degree weather and warm sun absorb into my fleece. I took the opportunity to go for probably my last “tool” around town before it gets too cold for me to enjoy. Drove my wheelchair down to North Street to see all my friends at...

Mud Pit!

dirt, earthwork, rainy
It’s just an absolute mud pit up on the hill after all the rain. The roofers and builders have tried to push on through the crappy weather, but today just got too slippery and messy. This didn’t stop the groundwork people doing the foundation for the library. Earlier...
