Mega House

Here I am awake at 2am worried about concrete again. It is so bloody annoying to have these delays be a constant part of the build. And this is someone else's fault. Brian was ready to test the in-floor heat on Monday but Bardons never delivered the part needed so Brian finally drove to some warehouse to pick it up. It was sitting on the counter and did not make it to the three trucks that had made deliveries to Picton.
Then when he went to test the pressure yesterday it will not stay at one number so that means there is a leak somewhere. If you look back at the photos of the tubing you'll see how hard it is going to be to find a leak in all that tubing.

We had wanted to pour concrete today because Friday Hydro comes to wire in the new service and disconnect the old. That means we have to go into the dark basement and hook up all the old wiring to new. While that is happening we have no power so pouring concrete is out of the question because it is a floor that needs to be power trowelled so no power no concrete on Friday and that means next week it is.

It also means I won't be going to our other house to pack next week because we still won't be able to close up the kitchen area which means water pipes that will have to be checked to make sure they are not freezing.

Speaking of freezing lucky for us Evan was going past our other house and needed a washroom because I guess the temperature in the house was 13c. We were able to call Brett from B.C. Mechanical and he got out right away to fix the ground source heat beast. It is always the same thing with that system, the fuse blows because the furnace filter gets dirty too quickly and the furnace has to work too hard. It should not be dirty since no one goes in the house for long periods of time and there are no pets.

Mean while the windows continue to go in and the guys are not happy after Drew was here he really mucked up the yard so they are getting pretty muddy doing the windows.
