More progress

Yesterday while Bill continued working on electrical and plumbing, I trimmed out the windows and doors on the house. Last Thursday while Win and I took the dogs to Omak for teeth cleaning, the L&I electrical inspector came and gave us a thumbs up with just a few corrections: all the 20 amp breakers needed to be GFCI, and the outside outlets needed to be within 6 feet of the door. Bill made a trip to Wenatchee upon our return to get the needed breakers.

Win had arrived Wednesday afternoon and we enjoyed her company (with Archie and diabetic cat Fiona) until Sunday. Friday night she and I were happily amused by the local (Twisp) theater's production of A One-Act Play Gone Wrong and were impressed by a cast of seasoned performers (most likely transplanted here from larger populations, like ourselves) who stayed in character while mis-cues, prat falls and other nonsense befell them.   The next day we took in the busy Saturday Farmers' Market in Twisp, an elephant ear her only purchase while I scored a bag full of goodies (4 shirts and a food processor all in one bag for $4; the best thrift store deal I've ever run across) from the Senior Center Thrift Shop which is next to the market.   

Monday Bill called for plumbing inspection by the county building department after he got three vents through the roof and filled the system with water to check for leaks. The water will stay in the pipes until inspection Wednesday, tomorrow.

Today I'll call the insulation folks and get on their schedule to insulate the main floor walls and crawl space with attic to follow next spring after sheetrock is complete.
