Things are moving slowly and I’m doing much the same each
day so this will be a block entry.
We are continuing to cut the floorboards around the
baseboards in what will be our bedroom, a bathroom and Callum’s bedroom. We’ve
taken up more floorboards and moved a huge pile of them out to the barn. JM was
doing a great job and making good progress until the blade broke on our new saw!
I bought another and it seems to be holding out but we are certainly putting it
to the test J I’ve
taken out all the disconnected knob and tube, removed redundant plugs from the
baseboards ( the boxes were 17 cents each from Canadian Tire, that must have
been a long time ago!) and dug out an old chimney that must have been
originally from a stove in the kitchen. The chimney was encased in old brick
and plaster not to mention mouse droppings…

Callum's room
On the contractor front, the septic guy seems to have fallen
off the face of the earth (multiple phone calls and nothing!), the HVAC guy has
yet to get a quote to us (9 days now…) and because of sickness Brett (my friend
who I’m hoping will help with the sill plate) has been unable to make it out either.
This house is definitely a lesson in patience. I’m used to being go, go, go and
now I have to slow down a little and wait for things to come together.
Breaking news: Our other house has SOLD! Now we can get
moving on work here since we’ll have some money freed up very soon J
yeah it's sold!!!
