The Tie In Continues

The work continued today despite the heat and I can just imagine how hot it would be working on the roof.Let's just jump into the pictures.....

You can see how they are bringing the new part togther with the old part.You can see the old part of the roof which is shingled and the new part of the roof which is the plywood.   

  Here we have the new roof resting on top of the old roof.As for the old part I am really not sure what is going to happen.I know the shingles will be removed and that is about the extent of my knowledge.We will just wait to see how this all comes together.                           

This is just the other side of the old and new roof coming together.It's weird when I walk into the new addition it's just boards everywhere and it's hard to try and picture our things in the rooms.What that has to do with the roof I have no idea??But looking at all those boards made me think of that,which then lead me to type that.....anyway......

Tomorrow,actually later today since it is after midnight,my brother will be starting the electrical and oh ya, apperently I am going to be his helper!!Does this make me nervous you ask? No...yes....no....well I guess just a little,not really sure how much help I will be but the learning experiance should be fun!

The bank did call today and we were approved for the next amount of money which is great.This couldn't have come at a better time since we are going to need money for electrical materials(a few hundred) and also we owe the electrician $600 from when the hydro stack was moved about 2 months ago.Throw in a bill from Home Hardware for about $220 just for good measure and you had me just about ready to burst into tears.

Lucky for me the bank called me at work with the good news, thus saving me from what was sure to be a mental meltdown, followed by a shower of tears right at work.

Not good.

With my fragile state it wouldn't take much to set me off.That probably would have done it.

Mental meltdown averted, I was told we were apporoved for another $32,580.Wow! This was more than we were expecting them to release,but that's good, now we can actually pay the people we owe!I am sure they will be happy.

So that concludes another day on the construction front and for me the fun really begins with my electrical debut later today! 

I'll let you know how it turns out....
