We got the meter moved over and the "pigtail" drop from the power pole connected. Woohoo! Shortly after that, Jim V and I got the power connected over from the new breaker box to the old so that we still had power to work with. Of course we didn't just patch it over; we made important improvements to the system to make it safer as well. Oldest fuse box-- gone. Old meters--history. Questionable connections-- reconnected. I also started pre-wiring the basement.
This weekend, I have been busting my tail to get other things done. Finished decking the floor in the "new" bathroom. Put electricity into it, too. Hung a solid door that needed lots of work. Got a lot of cleaning done, and made a lot of progress on straightening up the main floor. I'm trying to get it ready for Kathy to teach yoga there soon. Kathy got into the act as well. She took the shop-vac upstairs and started getting that in shape, too.
Everything is moving forward. One weird and troubling thing... the walls were sweating so bad there were puddles on the floor. This humidity coupled with the thermal mass of the thick brick walls makes for a lot of condensation. Going to have to deal with that, too.
Next week, Thanksgiving week, will be a holiday for me all week. Going to bust a gut to get lots done, while learning my lines for "Nevermore" (see http://notonys.blogspot.com). Going to be a busy life for a while.
