er the first 10 days, we got 42" of snow and there were a few days in the single digits. One evening I was putting up insulation and it was 8 degrees in the house!Our electrician has showed up more that the contractor but that is not saying much. He has at least got the loft and second floor bedrooms
done and finally wired up the heat pump and condenser. We tried the heat pump last weekend and it works good. I have the second floor bedrooms insulated as well as the loft so we can start drywalling up there soon.I want to get the first floor wired as soon as possible - that way, as soon as I am done insulating, we can start the plumbing and
drywall.We do not have the wood burner ready to go yet. That has been much more work than I expected. We had to punch a hole thru the foundation for the flue. That was fun as we hit one of the cores filled with concrete. Once through however, it was not too ba
d getting the terra cotta pipe cemented in. On the out side, I had to cut a square out of the chimney for the cleanout and cement that in place. Also had to cut the flue liner to fit up to the pipe coming through the foundation, then cement everything in place. Once all that was done we could start laying the chimney block. Slow going. When the chimne
y is done, all we need to do it wire up the blowers and we can start a fire.
