Western Massachusetts Tacomas

Got some rain over night here, maybe .25 or a little more. Looks like a bit more coming later this morning too

 

Nothing here yet today or last night .

 

It rained for 2 minutes today

 

Septic fields and more grading last couple days . Septic tank goes in Thursday .

 

Still waiting on Power company to run the line from the pole . Then the pump can be put in the well and hooked up . Then check everything for leaks then sheet rock those open areas in the ceiling .Still have to tile 2 and a half baths . Carpet all upstairs . Lay wood flooring downstairs. 3 decks . 2 are 9x12 and one is 30x12 .Electrician need to finish and hang all light fixtures . Obviously toilets need to be set after tile is put down. The list goes on and on . Including York raking and seeding .

 

Oh yea .... stud out walls in basement around furnace and what not ( utility room ) fire code sheet rock with a door .

 

It never ends! Will be worth it in the end and it will be done well before winter I’m sure!

 

They were planning to be in around Labor Day !

 

Then the power company better get moving! We had to build our house and business on harbor freight generators because we couldn't get power until the very end. My builder just did a house for my cousin and it was the same, took 10 months to get power there!!!!! Now there were some conservation issues they had to dance around but still...

We've been in touch and got everything signed with the power company, but now need to get the trench and box installed since we are running underground for the new house. Supposed to get our kit for the house for the first week of August. Things have been starting a little slower than we wished, but still hoping to have the MIL in before winter

 

Electrical inspector was there last week and put a green sticker on the panel. He said around 5 days for NYSEG to show up .

 

That would be great! Good luck.

 

Morning finally got some more rain . I actually might have to mow later today

 

Saw it scooted below us and hit CT pretty good, looked like some spots were still getting it this morning.

We have a nice couple days here before rain at the end of the weekend, but a good amount coming, so no watering this week

Going mountain biking this morning, then going to do the final steps to my bed liner. Just have to hit it with adhesion promoter then spray the actual stuff. Already sanded, cleaned, and acid etched the bare stuff. Should go on and stay on real nice.


Anyone got any big plans this weekend?

 

I’m going to be doing a very small amount of insulation in the basement ceiling at the new house today . Might visit a friend at his campsite in Greene county across the River . If we go I will pull my camper over and spend the night . It has not moved since last year . Busy busy

 

Any reason for on partial insulation in attic?


That's my worry about a camper. I'd love to have one, but I'm worried I wouldn't get my moneys worth. Maybe with a kid on the way a small one would be nice for the first 5-10 years when kids aren't quite the best on planes.

 

Insulation in 7x9 utility room . Basement

Our camper is a 2015 we purchased new . We usually go to Charlestown RI twice a year . Last year we took it to Assateague Island Maryland but that’s just too far and burn too much gas . We do have one trip planned to RI in August and cancelled one earlier this month .

 

Anyone else have no verizon cellphone or data service this morning?
