Wire, Water, and Weather








Well, the weather was good to us this Thanksgiving extended weekend. We've had several days of sunny warm weather - above 60 degrees most days. Kenny has been working for several days straight and we've been fortunate to continue to have family help.

Thursday - Thanksgiving - Kenny was at the house at dawn working on the roof trim. Kris' brother Rick and his family were in town visiting, so they all visited early in the day for a tour. While Kris and Rick's wife Kerri went back to the house to cook Thanksgiving dinner and let the kids play, Rick helped Kenny finish up the peak trim before they called it an early day and came home for the feast.

Friday, Kenny was at the house before daybreak again and his dad drove up as well. Then a little later, Kenny's uncle Joe and his colleague John drove down from Columbus to run wire for data, cable, and phone. They were able to finish the whole house in a day, while Kenny and his Dad worked until dark. Kenny's dad spent the night Friday, so it was a full house - 9 people - and Kenny and his Dad were up working on the house by 6am Saturday. On Saturday they rented a lift to be able to reach the high portions of the north roof. They worked on furring strips, soffit, facia, and other siding prep. After Kris' borhter and family headed back to New York on Saturday afteroon, Kris and the kids went back to the house to help Kenny finish up and his Dad headed back home. Kenny worked well past sunset on Saturday night and we returned the lift and made it home by 9 pm - which made Saturday quite a long day.

Enjoy some pics from the weekend progress. Also note that on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, our plumber Donnie was able to run quite a bit of copper supplies, so the plumbing is moving right along as well. The sunset pictures are from Saturday night.
