Sawhorses

Spent the afternoon building out two more sets of horses. I think these guys are slightly better than my first attempt. I got a bit more comfortable, and was doing a lot of the production work in waves/sets.

Basement Cleanup

We’ve got a lot of interior trim coming our way, soon. And our house is still not in a place where I would say that we have “extra room” for things.

As of now, the basement is our best location for storage. And we’ve been trying to clear things out, and make a bit more room.

House Plans

Liz and I spent a good part of the day, talking about our house – and all the plans we have, and projects we have, for the upcoming year.

Flushing the Condensate Line

Texting with Bob, we both had the same idea: with the condensate line now thawed and seemingly open – it was a good test to blow some compressed air down the line, to dislodge anything still stuck in there… and to also confirm that the line was open/free.

While I had this setup upstairs, Liz was down in the basement, watching the end of the PVC pipe.

Deep Freeze Issues, Part One

The second floor furnace appeared to be backing up. The condensate line was spilling over a bit, and the theory we had was that the main condensate line was frozen somewhere. The condensate line runs along our North wall, and our guess was that it froze somewhere along that wall in the basement.

At some earlier point, I had moved a lot of things we had upstairs down to the basement. Space is a premium at our house, and we’re constantly moving things from one place to another – to make temporary room.

Spent a little time today, reorganizing the basement area.

Clearing the Office

For most of last week, Liz and I were both mostly just recuperating from Covid. Not much of anything, other than a lot of coughing and a lot of sitting in bed, resting.

This week, we started to get a bit more energy. We’re still coughing more than makes sense, but have been going about doing a little house work over the holidays.

New Bedroom Windows

While we were in Michigan, Bob was able to install both windows in our bedroom. It’s a bit mind-boggling to me, when I imagine how much he must have had to go up/down the scaffold for this – but we arrived home to see our bedroom in an entirely new light – quite literally so.

Bedroom Window Prep

Today, we started to prep the exterior – and also removed the AC unit which was embedded into the foam insulation. If all goes well, we’ll be looking to install two newer windows into this space.
