In keeping with the theme

I need to squeeze one more entry in before the end of the year. And it's also time to renovate the blog - hence the new look for the new year.

Despite the lack of postings this month, there has been some activity. The electrician guys have been and gone; and actually completed their work. It is amazing how much wire goes into all the lights and plugs - upstairs and down.

Our most recent 'wait' has been for heating guys. Getting the heating right is critical. They've told us that we can do it all with the furnace we installed with the last reno. The trick is to balance the output so that the heat is evenly delivered to the old and new parts of the house. Anyway, we are expecting the heat guys to give us the plan early in the new year. Then insulation. Thankfully, we have had a run of nice weather (except a few weeks in November, which pushed our natural gas bill over $300 for the month).

With the basement floor in and the framing completed downstairs, we can store some of the furniture in the new storage room so we aren't so cramped.

Stay tuned and I'll try to post some new pictures soon.
