Yesterday, Delaeno finally broke the roof truss juggernaut, with truss erection having begun on September 1st.
Coincidentally, Davis working alone, shingled half the second-storey roof yesterday afternoon and this morning.
I began to reacquaint myself with my plumbing plan yesterday. I've found it really challenging to think it three dimensions while, simultaneously, trying to hold in mind all the constraints regarding pipe run limits, acceptable joins, etc. Actually standing in the space made the process very considerably more straight-forward and understandable. This morning I laid out the connectors and pipe for the main drain lines that will be buried under the basement floor. Tomorrow, having exchanged a few pieces, I'll head back to the site, delineate the footprint for a future potential basement washroom, then position the basement DWV (drain, waste-water, vent) and confirm that stacks from the upper floors will "marry" readily with it, before gluing the joints.
This morning, Delaeno & Nathan got to work on the loft's interior walls, then moved on the prepare the plates for the mudroom walls which, along with the kitchen wall, should go up on Monday.
Then, back to Winnipeg for more packing and change of address stuff.
Yesterday, while Davis was shingling the loft roof, he took a few photos of the view. Here's what he saw:
Sometimes it seems things aren't moving quickly enough – particularly as we are now less than four weeks from departing Niagara St. I can't fault DND's efforts, which have been outstanding, both in quality and volume. Then I look at the picture of the site as of July 20th, and the most recent shot of what stands on that once vacant ridge today. This project is moving along very well. We'll have a new home as soon as it's ready.
