We arrived here at 3am Monday. The drive took longer than usual, due to the trailer. We had rain as we left Seattle, which dried up in the middle of Oregon somewhere. The roads were dry the rest of the way. The dogs were both pretty good. We had them in the truck with us, as the back was filled with stuff. The back seat in the extended cab isn't so big, and definately cramped Jack's style. He said that was OK, that being on the soft seat in the heated cab, was totally worth it. He just stretched out and left Denver stuck in a tiny corner, anyway. Pictures will be added to this post when I find the cord for my camera!
House News:
I have lot's of good news to report! Both dogs get along with the dogs at our
It looks, to me, like the framing is almost done. The electrician was there this morning, fixing up some of the wiring and prepping for the future stuff.
The other guy, who was there this morning, was the guy from the gas company. He was connecting the gas! Once he was done with that, the heat was turned on! So now, I really can sing, "The heat is on..." The heat/furnace deal is kind of interesting. We got no choice at all. On every other issue, Slater (GC) asks us what we want, and bends over backward to get us what we want. The furnace was different. His normal furnace guy said "No" to our job and another this winter. He had a hard time finding a furnace guy this year for his jobs, so when he found one, he said here's what you pay, period. The good news is that we got a very nice, quiet furnace! We were concerned about the noise, because some gas-forced air furnaces are quite loud. Apparantly, the air intake has a lot to do with that, and because there was room, they put in 20" ducting. Bottom line: quiet heat, happy us!
