Today, the weather turned cooler and completely overcast with the high in the low 40's and a gusty wind out of the south. Starting to look like winter again. Current forecast is for rain (70%) on Saturday and snow (90% up to 3") on Sunday. Next week is supposed to be dry but very cool with the high no higher than 24F on a couple of days and up to the mid-40's on other days.
T took off for Texas yesterday afternoon, spending the night in the Creek Nation (Muskogee, OK). I sent a note to John (solar) this morning asking if he had any input on the potential of enlarging the cupola on the garage. The current solar design calls for a 9 kW-30 panel system, but that premises a 36" cupola. I have little doubt the size of the cupola will either increase or we will add a second one. Looking at the proposed panel layout, it seems that the 30 panel option we have chosen would allow for a much larger cupola. On the Option 2 shown below, I am showing a cupola that runs 60" along the roof line. This size would be in-line with the guidelines we have seen from cupola manufacturers. John responded that the best thing to do would be for Tyler (architect) to send them a new roof drawing showing the new cupola and they would evaluate it. Again, it does not seem to me that it will be a problem.
"Our" Mike, "Little" Mike and Nate showed up today, as promised, for a second day of work this week. Today represents a total of 4.5 days of activity since December 10. They finished the fascia and soffits on the garage and installed the roof vents for the two garage wet bars. They then turned their attention to the sunroom, starting on the fascias. They put in a good days work, which they always do, when they show up. No word on whether they will return tomorrow. Earlier in the day, I asked Mike if he ever sent the final dimensions to Jim (glass roof), which he said he would do last week. He said he had not, but assured me he would do so. It will be nice to get that aspect of the project going again.
