http://sonicchicken.net/blog/wordpress/20070614/remodel-week-9/ Information, opinions, ideas and rants from my family and friends in Sacramento, California, US. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:15:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 http://sonicchicken.net/blog/wordpress/20070614/remodel-week-9/#comment-4851 SonicChicken weblog » Blog Archive » Busy, busy, busy! Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:03:53 +0000 http://sonicchicken.net/blog/wordpress/?p=337#comment-4851 <p>[...] I haven’t been able to blog much lately–too busy with the remodel! I took a “vacation” from my regular job last week so that I could devote all my efforts to the addition. I’ll post more on the project status later (hopefully tonight), but right now the only thing I’ll mention is my telephone/internet connection. When we finally got our telephone service underground, I jury-rigged our existing telephone line by running a cable through one of the window openings. But last week we got our windows installed so I had to do something else. We had other, higher-priority projects to work on, so I just disconnected the phone line and figured I’d get around to it later. “Later” ended up being several days–I finally got the underground conduit extended into the attic, but I still have to get some telephone- and network cable rated for underground usage. (The conduit is buried about two feet, and in the summertime the temperature within the underground conduit is low enough to cause moisture to condense inside the pipe, to the point that the cable will effectively be underwater.) In the meantime, I’m going to continue using the indoor-rated cable until it fails (or I’m able to acquire some underground cable).

So the roof sheathing should happen this weekend, 6/23-24. The good news is the weather forecast is <em>much</em> nicer this coming weekend: highs in the mid-80's! And our second demolition party is now tentatively scheduled for June 30.</p> Well, more delays. The framing crew probably won’t be done until this Friday, 6/22.
