Adventures at The Bunny Manse

Electricians are there migrating power from the 100 amp boxes to the 200 amp boxes and upgrading the line power. This should be complete today.  Fingers Crossed. ** Mid morning update** Electrical will not be complete until Thursday as Duke Power didn't show up for the switch over. Windows... I think Ben is waiting for a sash? We have three windows that are partially finished and three that are fully finished. He's been incredible dealing with the unexpected. Zinc windows  - David took those last week. They should be repaired and rehung in the next month sometime. Plaster - today since there is a lack of consistent power they will be scraping and preparing the girls room. girlS room, how friggin cool is that.  Bill and Harris cleaned out the last bedroom upstairs, so all three can be done if there is time. Finish coat plaster will start tomorrow in the suite upstairs, then they will do the girls room next week, then the final bedroom the following....

Sometimes there are delays... The wire the electricians need will not arrive until later today (at the earliest) pushing the switch over from 2 100 amp boxes to 1 400 amp box until Monday Brad, Ed's apprentice in the plaster trade, hurt himself over the weekend, so wasn't able to work Monday or Tuesday. Luckily he was able to rejoin Ed today and they continue to prep walls upstairs.  We may get three bedrooms finished - we may get two bedrooms finished. Here's hoping for three. The tile for downstairs arrived and...it's going to be much more complicated to lay than we thought. Have two people giving estimates this week (hopefully) to do the work.  Still waiting to hear from the plumber if for some stupid reason them replacing the toilet (not changing anything other than the damn fixture) needs a building permit (it doesn't plumber. Get your head on right).  But I would like that bathroom finished ASAP thank you very much. We have many things that are at 50%...

We can has asbestos? YA! YOU CAN HAS ASBESTOS! :not happy: We're getting an estimate for remediation now. We were going to focus on getting the HVAC installed then said, hrm- that old plumber who was out said every one of these old houses has asbestos, because he used to work on the boilers - let's make sure we don't have asbestos before we start heating and piping air through the house. Oh guess what! We do!  It's in several places around the crawl space, basically following the path of the old steam radiator pipes. They are going to have to cut the metal out of the crawl space, dig out the dirt in places where it's already fallen from the pipe and then do some negative pressure thing with the air. So. Yeah. Also, we found some weird wires that we're going to have looked at next week. We're getting our tax credits back over the next 4-6 weeks so were planning how we would spend the money. Looks like...more non-sexy things that are most defi...
