ALERT !! Tragedy !! 67Dart273
Sort of a progress report. have had a LOT of trouble finding independent, square people who will WORK. Just fired a guy the other day, but that is a good thing, he was a twitchy twink.
Anyhow, ALL the ceilings and wall board is gone except a small amount in the basement, behind the work bench in the electronics room, all insulation is out except above the bathroom, which I'm "keeping going" as long as I can, for toilet, for washing dishes, and for showers!! Electric heaters (maybe more than one!! later!!) and a dedicated cable from the garage to water tank for hot water
All belongings and electronics are out and stored except what was in the "lathe room" (furnace room.) Some of that will stay because that was and will remain unfinished.
Big issue now, is getting people (and the damned city!!) for scheduling and permits and so on, and of course the weather is getting colder and will be getting wetter.
I still have the use of the loaned dump trailer, and am likely working on the very last load right now. Day before yesterday, had a neighborhood helper over here and we picked up most of the mess in the side yard. Fire guys through glass and junk all over the side yard. That actually went faster than I'd figured. No idea if and how to get rid of the broken glass. Maybe next spring, a walk behind bucket rig or something, and scrape up some soil.
I bought another pellet stove, and will temporarily set it in the living room in place of where the wood stove and later, the free standing gas heater was. The city can't say **** as with it "just sitting there unplougged" it is, well, "just sitting there unplugged." And I already have one in the basement which I had not used in years. I had bought it as a "booster" when I thought I had some work lined up, and was going to do down there. The f'ing city will NOT turn the gas meter back on, very annoying. (I used to do HVAC service work, so it's doubly annoying)
They cannot say **** about the pellet units because, with them unplugged (from extension cords) and maybe rip the vent loose, it's technically not installed and operational.
And yeh, the city now requires a permit for a wood heater.
Insulation coming out of the ground floor
