The first good news, is that we have HEAT ! Finally !... We also have a flushing toilet, running cold water, a new kitchen and a second floor almost completely painted ! We have a new joist in the basement and a new back wall. We also have new windows here and there, brand new wiring on the 3rd floor and most of the 2nd floor, new fixtures... Yes! We have been really busy! The fact that we have the heat on has helped a lot since we can now spend the night there, which saves us the drive, but also the time we used to spend everyday to pack and unpack the tools... And it's a lot easier to work when your fingers aren't frozen... ;-)
Unfortunately, we also had some less good news: we have had some leaks in the drain pipes that we had to replace, we had to buy a new heater (the one we had was not working), our plumber left us with a bunch of leaks that we will have to get fixed, the new wiring was not exactly budgeted for and I am leaving to France in a week only to leave Rick alone to work in the house :-( All the same, we are pretty happy with the progress we have made and we can now see that our work is starting to come together. Finally.
