Day 8 - A Little Roof

Another day, another step towards returning to normal life. Only Day 8 and this living out of our living room with a toaster in the bathroom and coffee maker upstairs is getting old. The challenge is the wiring of this house is not logical, so many of our outlets in random places are not working and we have extension cords snaking all over the place to keep our fridge running and our computer/modem/router etc. humming so I can keep working. Really, we're doing fine.

Today, around 2 pm a storm came whipping through here. By 2:30 pm we lost power. With no power to run all the equipment, the guys left before installing the window, but they did build the little roof that covers the window box. The window opening is partially covered by a piece of plywood leaning against the inside to minimize the amount of rain getting in. I took this photo in the rain so as not to lose a single day of this photolog of the progress. Blog dedication.

We didn't get our power back until 8:45 tonight. I've been on the computer ever since. I can't function without it. More news tomo, I'm sure.
