A lot has been happening over at the building!  While we were in South Carolina the electricians (Central State Electric) were in for a few days, rewiring the entire upstairs.  Last week they came in and put in new panels.  In a week and a half the utility company will be changing over our building from the current measly 100 amp service to 400 amp service.

On Monday and Tuesday we had a couple of HVAC guys (Chet’s Plumbing & Heating) in who installed the new furnace to service the apartment upstairs.  It is hung above the suspended ceiling on the first floor.  Several months ago, as we were poking around, we found duct work from an old furnace system (which serviced the whole building at that time).  The new furnace takes advantage of this, taping into the old main trunk, and only a few more holes for registers needed to be cut in the floor upstairs, while capping off the registers facing downward.

Tonight, with the help of Jim, Daryl, Lori, and Pat and DuWayne, we picked up all the drywall we will need upstairs (found on sale, or we probably would have waited another week or so).  While it took a little longer than we had estimated to load and unload it, it is nice to see it all stacked and waiting.  We’ll start hanging that towards the end of next week.
