The drywall work continues with the third coat of mud being put on.Now from what I have been told this will be the last coat of mud.Then they will sand it once it is dry and then we can start priming and painting.
As for when we can start painting,well....I am hopefully that maybe this week-end.That is a big maybe though.
We had our second assessment for the Government grants for the energy rebates.That would be federal and provincial and I think the max is about five thousand from each if I remember correctly.We are lucky we did our first assessment when we did, because now they have cut some of the money you can get back.Good old government realized they had too many people taking advantage of the rebates and decided to cut it off.
The guy who did the audit was pretty cool about everything and gave us the max score we could get on everything.Which I am not surprised about because we did redo everything and it's all energy star stuff. He even got my brother and the contractor to take the toilet we bought out of the box set it up so he could take a picture of it so we could get money back for that as well.He also gave us credit for 9 windows instead of 7 because he counted the 4 new ones we have on the new part of the house.I thought he could only give us credit for what we had before not the new part.We are not complaining though, at $80 dollars a window that's a few hundred dollars worth of windows.
He said we should hear in about a month how much we will be getting back and the first cheque should come within sixty days.By the looks of things we should be getting a good amount of money back.This money will go towards new furniture and finishing the basement.
I didn't take any pictures today because, I went over to the house and then realized that I had no battery in the camera.....oops!! And I was to lazy to walk back over to put the battery in and then go back to the house again.
Tomorrow I will remember the battery and hopefully not be as lazy......
