February is flying by and life continues to be busy. The attic project is stalled sort of. We are ready to drywall--except duct work needs to be run before it goes up. So it is kind of hurry up and wait. it took a while to get the recommended guy in town over then his quote was late. All that makes me a bit uneasy. In any case We said make it so. I have wired everything that I can except for putting in the fire alarm boxes and two plugs.
They aren't done simply because of laziness. The logic goes, "Well the furnace and air handling system isn't in so there is no rush as once I call the brothers to drywall it is going to take awhile to get on the radar." Brian called and said he would bring a couple of his workers an tools. I suspect that we will be able to finish hanging the dry wall in the weekend. Might even get the tape up if enough relatives show up.
Motivation is further dampened by the fact that it is hurry up and wait on the quote for replacement windows in what will be the master bedroom. I thought these might be difficulty to get as I want to preserve the small triangle pattern in the look. We may also be seeing our first somewhat unforeseen/unplanned increase in scope as the window guy said something like, "I could get you a quote on opening casements to replace those rotting fixed windows." And someone else said, "Ooh cross ventilation. I love it! Lets check it out."
Claire on the other hand has already redecorated and furnished the place in her head. In fact she may already be renovating the renovation.

blog readers understand the "hurry up and wait" feeling. : )
