Trying to get the shingling finished in a snowstorm

Trying to get the shingling finished in a snowstorm

Charron going up the valley

Looks like Santa Claus

Moving up the roof

In floor heating pipes and sewage pump

I use these photos for measurements needed when the floor is finished and I’m installing partitions

The sunlight will help us clear snow from the plywood

New garage door openings behind the sliding doors

A promising sunrise

Larry has come to pour the basement floor

The concrete truck promptly gets stuck – two tractors to help get it in position to pour through window openings

Concrete chute through a window opening

Finished – pulled up onto the driveway

Wash out the chute into the bucket for disposal

Freshly poured concrete in the basement

The other end of the basement

Hammer and tong on the roof to get it finished

Lots of straw helps with traction – little frost in the ground

North side is finished

East side of the link is finished – two roof vents

Putting on the ridge cap

Oscar inspects

Typar on the east wall – joints taped

Power trowel to give us a smooth finish

The arrival of Prest Electric – local electrician

Basement windows installed in the bedroom

Installing windows in the basement living area

Floor finisher leaves us some concrete from hand troweling

Windows installed – east end of the basement

“ Nosy Parker “ watches what we do

Now the concrete has to dry thoroughly

It will take some time before we can install partitions

Propane heater helps the process

In floor heating tubes can be hooked up to the water heater

A row of basement windows

East end of the basement – windows at grade

My morning arrival

Typar on the interior of the basement walls allows air to pass through but keeps moisture against the concrete and away from the insulation to be installed
