Work continues on the siding. This week has been focused on the front (street facing) side of the house. While they are not finished, there is enough siding installed for you to get a good idea of how it will look. It is still missing trim around the windows and at the roof. And the real front door does not show up until mid-January.
Inside the house electrical wiring continues. We are using shielded wiring and spacing the wires out to reduce EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) inside the house. It should be electrically quiet enough to host a radio telescope (although that is not our plan).
The first picture shows the wiring in the kitchen corner. The range will be just to the left of this area, and the sink will be just to the right.
The second picture shows the wires coming down into the wiring closet. There is a lot of work to be done to get all these organized.
The propane tanks got installed last week. They will be filled on Monday, at which point the house will be heated using a temporary furnace. In the long run, the propane is for the backup generator and kitchen range. The real heating/cooling is electric (modern air-to-air heat exchangers).
Meanwhile, Daphne has been ordering all the lighting for the house. The lights get shipped to our current house, where we open the boxes to inspect them for damage. Then we drive them to the new house where they get stored in the basement. The electrician will need to see each style to wire them properly. These are not all the lights; there are more on the way.
Finally, here is a current view of the river.
I have construction camera footage of the siding work, but I will wait until they finish the front to splice it all together into one movie.
