Mike still has a couple of ladders in the garage and his lock box on the basement door. These are indications (but not proof) that he intends to return. Of the other items on the list of Mike's "things-to-do", the major ones are moving the attic ladder in the garage and fixing the electrical stuff that still does not work in the sunroom. We have already made arrangements with a different company to repair the conservatory ceiling in the main house (should be done later this week). We were going to have them also do the repair to the powder room dry wall (on Mike's "to-do" list), which was damaged during the plumbing part of the project, but T decided to let that go for now. This left only three items on Mike's list to complete. Other than relocating the garage attic access ladder (so that we can actually use it), we have, or will, finish the others ourselves. The electrical work still is an irritation however.
Still have unfinished exterior lighting, irrigation and landscaping. The pond continued running through the freezing weather we had last week. I had to add water several times, but it never stopped flowing. While the ice got pretty thick, you could still hear the water flowing over the falls, underneath the ice.
Over the weekend, I installed mini-blinds on the eight garage windows. This will give us some control of the amount of light coming in, a sense of privacy when we want it and also improve security. Mini-blinds for the three french door windows should be arriving today. I also installed a rope n' pulley hanging system for our 30' extension ladder so we could get it up off the floor. Being 15' long (unextended), we could not hang it on a wall without interfering with one of the doors. I also have a shelving system on-order so that we can start moving stuff from the basement to the garage.
We got an email from the glass roof people yesterday asking if we would be willing to send them some photos of the finished project for their gallery. The snow from last week is all gone, so I took some photos this morning and sent them (it is very overcast today). I also told them we are very happy with how the glass roof turned out. To think our architect's original plan was to have a solid flat (non-glass) roof over the hot tub. It was going to be less than 8' high! That would have been a mistake and I am glad we insisted on the vaulted glass roof.
