TUBES & TARPS

April 2007.


Can't keep the basement dry. Don't have a clue what to do. To make matters worse Charlie is being delayed at the job he started in the Fall so our start date is now being bumped to May or mid June. That's two more months of trying to keep things dry and mold free. Ugh!


D and big Jim went up and laid out the tube pattern - knee and back breaking work. The tube ends all connect to a manifold which will eventually be hooked up to a boiler. This should keep the lower level living space warm and cozy.


We decided to remove the tyvek on the deck, open up the stair hole, keep some fans running and create awning holes to help air things out. Before we left we covered the foundation with tarp number 2. Then we held our breath and crossed our fingers.
