Looks Like A Promising Week

"Our" Mike and Nate showed up this morning and worked on putting insulation around the windows of the sunroom, putting in the sunroom soffits under the east gable and caulking around the soffits on the sunroom and garage. Perhaps in anticipation of the brick layers.

And YES!, the bricks showed up this morning. Looks like about 7,000 bricks. T inspected them for color and declared them satisfactory. 

When Dave (USPS) delivered the mail today, he tried to convince me that he had delivered the bricks and wanted to discuss how many stamps were needed to cover the postage.

I did not talk with Mike at all today, so I don't know when the brick layers are intending to start. The slate installation on the garage is still incomplete.

John and Tim (HAC) showed up to continue working on the heat pump installation. The got the interior "head" mounted and are running the refrigerant lines. When the "head" sat in the basement, it looked huge. However, up on the west gable, it does not look so big. If we paint it so that it blends in with the stained wood, it will be fine...just as T said it would.

Refrigerant Lines

 The pan for the television mount arrived today.

We got a reply from Tyler regarding the note I sent over the weekend about Bob's (cabinetry) assumption that the sunroom walls would be dry walled and then covered with the wood paneling. Tyler stated that when Bob was here a couple of weeks ago, Mike suggested using plywood instead of drywall. The drawings do not call out either. Mike must have suggested this to Tyler because neither Bob, T or myself heard the suggestion. I did notice that about 25 sheets of 1/2" plywood showed up in the garage on Saturday. That issue is now resolved.

Tyler also responded to my note regarding the invoice from him I was questioning. The response about the payment amount did not make any sense, but he did say that he talked today with Mike (I did see him in the back yard talking with Mike today) about the ventilation issue. Mike said he was going to be talking with the electrician this week and would see if the electrician is willing to install the fan and vent louver.
