This was Saturday. The skylight came out and I had a clear, open view of the trees outside. Then the opening was covered in blue plastic (it got dark in the room, awfully dark) while the guys battled more ants and finally framed in the new rafters.
See how dark the room is now. It's something I have to get used to after 20 plus years of almost constant light. Today they are sledge hammering the chimney out to get to the side wood framing which is rotted. The way the rotting bricks are falling--it'll be fast work. The contractor wants to get the reframing started today. Tomorrow everyone is leaving for camp. It's Maine. It's August.
G keeps telling me the room will "lighten" up when the French doors are here instead of the bricks.
Good news. They found a 3 way electrical cord up in the ceiling which isn't attached to anything. We have a wall switch that doesn't turn anything on --- the contractor says he can run it up to the peak and we can have a ceiling fan with a light up there. Or a light that hangs over the dining room table. All things that would make life happier.
