So we finally have all the windows that were delivered installed. This includes some in the great room, so you can now see the curving windows start to take shape. We are still sorting out when and how we are going to get the last of the windows and doors. Jeld-Wen had indicated they would have them sent out by Nov 6th, but now are saying one set of sliding doors won’t even arrive in Winnipeg until Nov 16th. So we are pushing to have everything they do have shipped out asap.
We have plastic over the center window openings until we get the windows here.
So tomorrow we are having our framing inspection again. They have been busy the last couple days finishing up everything so I’m hoping we will get a conditional pass this time. Then we can move onto insulation!
A few more small things that have been worked on recently:
Master Ensuite plumbing for the shower, including body sprays
Soffits and fascia have started going up, and it looks good!
So we are inching along and hopefully we will get to that elusive drywall stage soon.
ARON UPDATE: So Aron had his eye surgery today. I would have loved to have been with him, but we decided it was important for one of us to be onsite to keep things moving along with the build. Aron has most of the kids taking good care of him and keeping him company though000.
So the surgery was a success, meaning they were able to remove the aqueous humor with all the blood and other ‘stuff’ from the inner eye. Then they could evaluate the retina and optic nerve and they were in pretty good shape. The retina had a fold that they had to straighten out. As a part of this fix, they had to put an air bubble in the eye, I believe to keep pressure on the retina to keep it in the proper place. So for now Aron, has to lay on his left side and we still aren’t sure how long he has to keep this up. Aron will see the Dr. first thing tomorrow, so he will get a more detailed explanation on the state of the eye, what the next steps might be and the overall prognosis for him getting his sight back.
One interesting thing is, that they thought his lens was floating around in the aqueous humor and it would be removed during this procedure. But when they did the surgery, there was no lens. All we can surmise is that the lens must have been lost right when the accident happened with the bungee. So there will be further updates once Aron sees the Dr.
