Day 25

Oct 19th

Monday - the start of another week - and a slow start at that. It rained again today, so we are REALLY happy that the roof was completed on Friday. Garth also came over on Sunday to put the plastic bubbles on the sun tunnels, so that we didn't get rain in the house (he called us, we didn't call him!).

Unfortunately we had a picky inspector today, so it turns out that after his "3 HOUR" inspection, Garth didn't pass - the inspector wanted a few other things completed before he passed us. Garth will make the small modifications tomorrow morning and the inspector will come out again in the afternoon. Lost some progress though, so hopefully Garth and the team will be able to crank again after passing.

Although there were a number of smaller things done in the house today, the only major item worthy of a picture was the removal of the stucco around the circuit breaker box. PG&E came out to review their wires (to make sure we had enough juice coming to the house) and ok'd our intentions to update the box to 200AMPs. It's currently at 100AMPs, so we need more power to use our new A/C. Now our electrician will work with PG&E next week to put in a more powerful box.

As there were no images from the house of any worthiness today - I thought I'd add some pictures taken over the weekend. Here are "my girls" on the deck of our apt.

Our lovely apt. This is pretty much it. The kids room is behind the wall on the left. Our bedroom is to the right - and that's it! 2 bedroom, 2 bath. It works for now, but we're happy it's going to be a short stay.

We do have a washer and dryer in the apt (small room at the end of the kitchen), so that was a nice addition!
