Bill Has Arrived

Former Tropical Storm Bill rolled through town today. Looks as if most of the rain went south of us, but it still rained all day and we got several inches. By 4:00 pm, most of the rain is now east of us. Heading for Virginia.

Chris showed up and worked in the garage all day. It rained so much that I never got a chance to go out and visit with him. After he had left I went out and he had install a lot of boxes and ran wires. More to do.

Maybe next week the weather will be dry enough to get the stone sills installed and install the gutters.

Mike told me on Wednesday that Bret (roofing) was here on Tuesday and fixed the flashing around the southeast chimney and caulked the nail heads on the sunroom ridge shingles. They do look better. Mike said however that Bret still needs to do some repair work around the eaves. We have had so much rain over the last few weeks, we are confident we have no major leaks on the main house or the new additions. Mike also said that the slate guys came around and he pointed out to them some issues he wanted them to correct.

We took the 12" down rod that we bought with the ceiling fan back to the lighting store and exchanged it with an 18". This should put the fan blades at a height of 8' 6".  I meant to also pickup a remote control, but forgot. I ordered it through Amazon and it should be delivered on Monday.
