Electricity, elec-tri-city

We finally have electricity! The power company showed up a little earlier than expected, but we had all the holes and trenches ready by the time they were ready to work. It was a bigger production than I expected with 4 large utility trucks and half a dozen crew members. We have the power going to a temporary pole that we can plug our tools into. It is much nicer to work without that generator running all the time.

The first floor subfloor is done and ready for walls. The location of all the walls have been snapped in chalk so we can see a life-sized blueprint of our first floor. It looks just like we pictured it would. I'm sure it will change as we get the walls framed up, drywalled, etc. We've been extremely happy with the work our framers have been doing. Each contractor that stops by comments on how good the framing looks, and even our building inspector was so impressed he wanted to take pictures of the work.


Rich and George have been busy getting the workshop all framed up so we have a safe and dry place to put our window and interior trim delivery next week. Since this photo was taken, half the roof sheeting has been put on as well. Tomorrow they will finish up the roof sheeting and later this week our roofers will start.
