Day Two

I started the morning with a Zipcar and a drive to the electrical supply store to buy two surge-suppressed duplex outlets. I arrived back at 8:15. The crew arrived at about 9.

At work, Joan's husband brought some stainless steel samples for us to review.

After work, I worked on the drawings some more, making the changes that have occured since my first meeting with Jim. I think this should be my last drawing update that is required.

... Arriving home, we found that kichen had been cleared and the floor was taken up. I asked our contractor early on whether he thought we actually had subfloor beneath the old 1920's floor; he assured me that we did. Boy was I right. Beneath the floor, we have tar-paper, sleepers, and gravel. Yes, folks that right. Gravel.

The demolition of one of the small walls was completed today, which was fun to see.

The unpleasant surprise was that at the threshold to the dining room, one of the floor boards on the dining room-side was damaged. This board will have to be replaced, and likely before the cork goes in. I hope this doesn't cause any delay.

I spent the rest of the evening drawing on the wall--indicating the electrical locations and some detail drawings. All the dimensions seem to checkout.
