10.2.2018

Today was an all-day rain event so Jim had to spend time inside again today.

He worked on tweaking the furnace and got the stairwell heat online.  We aren't going to keep it on right now but he got it working if we want to keep it a bit warmer in the months ahead.  He also did some more bleeding of the lines in the apartment.

He spent a lot of time at his desk today - he worked on a material breakout for siding and put in a quote request from Curtis Lumber.  It's amazing how many various pieces and parts go into that!

Then he tackled the snowblower torn cable issue.  He contacted the Bobcat dealer and someone was supposed to call him back (he's still waiting on that call yet again).  But he also contacted the shipping broker and told him about the issues we had with delivery as well as the cable.  So he's battling both fronts to see what happens.

On that same note, he stopped at the Bobcat dealer this afternoon.  First, he got a price for the snowblower attachment - double what we paid so all this hassle is definitely worth it!  But he also got a price and written statement of how much it would cost to replace the cable.  Jim can do it himself but of course that takes time so we'll see how it all plays out.

His main errand while he was out was to go to the roofing company to talk to his rep about a quote for the siding as well as the additional roof shingles we will need.  He also talked to him about options for sealing and finishing the half-round window for the stairwell.  That's not going to be an easy problem but they are going to put together a quote for some possibilities.

Hopefully the rain will stop tomorrow and Jim will be able to get outside but project management always needs to get done and it was a good day for that.
