The ... Rooof... Is.....DONE!?


It took a month and a half, but we got 'er done.
The Carpenter got 'er done actually, while we handed him stuff.
The plumbers finished the rough plumbing and it passed inspection.
This is what they used to plug the main drain to do the "vent test". Guess who insisted I take a photo?
We went to Penticton to buy more things we'll probably return, but it's always worth the drive when we see these guys....

We spent most of the week avoiding the electricians and plumbers, and the rest of the time wiping up their beverage spills before they froze to the floor.
This week we used the wood stove to: thaw lubricant for electric wiring, soften electrical conduit, melt ice out of the plumber's hose, bicycle pump and compressor gauges.
Once the electricians are done we can start insulating the attic and upstairs. Until then, thank the Lord for silk long johns and cashmere pants.
