Skylight Note
When I
stopped by the other day, I left a note how I wanted the skylights boxed in.
Having them boxed parallel to the floors and walls lets in more light. Boxing
them at 90’s to the roof gives it more of a tunnel effect and doesn’t let in as
much light. I hope they don’t think the note is too obnoxious.
The weather
promises to be hot over the next week and now that the roof is pretty much done
and most of the windows are in we shouldn’t have any more water going into the
basement. With that in mind I ran over to the house Wednesday night and using a
push broom I moved a few gallons of water in the basement into the sump pump
hole. I then followed up with a squeegee and push a bunch more into the hole.
There are still puddles left and a sheen everywhere but I’m hoping it will now
start to dry. Talk about humid; I was drenched when I was done moving as much
water as I could.
The problem
is it’s difficult to ventilate even with the four large windows, three small
basement windows, a bulkhead and the stairway opening from the garage. Air just
doesn’t move around easily and without electricity you can’t run a fan. It
would be nice to just have a dry floor. I guess that’s where the patience comes
in. I wish I had a couple of those torpedo heaters that they use in the winter.
With
Thursday having been a holiday I’m guessing there won’t be any work going on today.
Can’t blame them if they took a long weekend. They did a great job of cleaning
up the site on Wednesday. Wood is all stacked and debris picked up and even the
sawdust was swept up. For the most part, it’s always been kept clean. I’ll pick
things up here and there just so it doesn’t blow into my neighbor’s yards. And
I want the yard just kept neat for the neighborhood. I haven’t had to do much of that though as they
have stayed on top of it.
I’m going to go over later to poke around.
Maybe even see if I can’t squeegee some more of that water around.
Enjoy your
day.
