Chris continued with the electrical work in the sunroom. He apparently completed the wiring for the cupola fan which allowed Mike to start framing. Once he got the room-side grill on, it was apparent that we will paint that grill before deciding whether or not we need an additional decorative grill over the opening. Mike also started installation of the framing for the hot tub decking.

Mike said he called Bobby (fireplace) to schedule them to come out and finish the fireplace installation. He said the soonest they could be out is next Thursday. Mike says he has to have that done before the stone work on the chimney breast can begin. That implies it may be the week after next before the stone work can be scheduled. I told Mike we have booked another cruise for December and I wanted to believe we would have the project finished by then. I did not get a commitment.
Eric (solar) stopped by this morning and dropped off the documentation for the solar system. We chatted about the system performance. I explained to him that, on those few sunny days we have had since the system went into service on June 18, we have never exceeded a power output of 6.1 kW. This is only 64% of the rated output. I further explained that, based upon my research, I would expect a power output of 8.5 kW. The contract we signed estimated an output of 7.6 kW, which I assume is a very conservative estimate. Regardless, I wanted to reinforce to Eric that I am not satisfied with the current performance. He said all the right things to attempt to assure me that they would work with me to achieve maximum system performance. I later got a call from Josh, the solar company's operation manager. He also assured me that would work with me.
