This morning, we woke up to the 15th straight day of rain, but luckily it's been clearing throughout the day. Yesterday, Mt. Mansfield got 3 inches of snow, and Burlington officially recorded the wettest May on record.... Ah, springtime in Vermont! On the positive site, things have really been greening up and the weather is supposed to be a little better.
Last night, Brent met me on site, and we got 3/4 of the foundation insulated. Lor came by 7:00, and helped me wrap up-- We were done by 8:00 PM. The project was manageable, one of those easy ones for the homeowner to knock off. Brent had tarred the walls earlier that day so we slapped the insulation in place and tacked it with a single
screw per sheet. Brent will be back today (Wednesday) to finish the curtain drain and backfill.Unfortunately, the plumber has not showed up! our intent was to have the floor ready to pour the slab on Thursday, but that is not going to happen. Jeb now has a commitment from him to do the work on Friday-Saturday, with the pour scheduled for next Tuesday. I'm keeping my finger crossed.
In other news, I've priced out the wire and conduit for our underground power line... Not cheap. The pole installation is scheduled for next Wedneday, 5/31. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The three big tasks we have for this weekend are:
- Pop a couple more trees for the power line
- burn our brush pile
- cut a couple small trees along the road for drainage.
