The recent snow storm delayed the delivery of our propane tanks. Delivery is now scheduled for late next week. In the long run, the propane is for the back-up power generator and also for the kitchen range. However, during construction, the propane will be used to run a temporary heater which has been installed in the basement with a duct running to the first floor.

Here is the temporary heater (in the basement):

And here is what it looks like coming up on the first floor. (Architect for scale.)

Outside the house, the construction crew continues to add siding. Here are some siding progress pictures from the front of the house (to the left and right of the front door). The trim around windows, vents and blocks still need to be added and the blocks will be painted black.

Meanwhile inside the house the electrician continues to work. We decided on the placement of the outlet and Ethernet jack that will be on the deck (on the end next to the living room). This will allow Joel or a guest to use a laptop on the deck. We also identified the places where we want to avoid any wiring running under the floor — basically anywhere Daphne will be spending a lot of time.
