Roof / Power / Home Theater

Jorve Roofing showed up en masse on Thursday. There are roofers all over my roof! I have a roof full of roofers who are roofing at a roofalicious rate! Now you may ask "Dave, isn't it raining up in Seattle?". Or maybe "Dave, what's with the alliteration?"

It rains in Seattle. Roofing companies know how to roof in the rain without getting water in the house. It involves a copious amount of tarps. Plus, I think they doubled the amount of roofers to get each section done faster. I swear there's at least a dozen roofers.

We wont have to dig up the road to get the power line buried. That is awesome. The excavator will do a "road push" where they use technology to push a couple conduits underground from the house to the power pole across the street. One conduit is for the power, the other is for other utilities such as INTERNET. A house is totally useless without that. And don't go talking smack about using Clearwire for internet. Slow and they block video chats. I am going to go for either comcast's xfinity or verizon fios, whichever is faster (or available, I know comcast is).

Drywall work is almost done. The home theater is 3 sheets of drywall away from being closed up. Then I will need to go buy another sheet of plywood and button up the remaining sections of the platform for the back couch row. Gonna use the spiral saw to cut out the openings for the hvac system. Man, I love that tool.

Once that's done, we will start mudding and taping. I expect this blog to become R-Rated, as I will be ranting.
