Not very productive day

Today wasn't very productive.  I had another round with the post office, I think they are forwarding the underbelly to Sullivan, but I didn't get a high degree of confidence they have any clue what is going on.  I also stopped at the bank today.  They have stopped giving out construction loans to owner/builder, and don't have personal loans that go over 10k.  So I will be visiting Key tomorrow.

I did get a little bit of work done.  I borrowed Tim's hole saw and put in the attic vents.  I didn't realize until after it was too late, but I needed a 4" saw and he brought up a 4.25" saw.  Nothing some silicone can't fix.


Ok, a lot of silicone.


That said, they are in and don't look bad.


I had time and was out of materials, so I also went around and pulled all the nails that were misses I had pushed out because they were in the way of something.


I also filled them in so they are watertight.  I tried to keep it thin so it doesn't look odd when the siding is painted.


I really hope the underbelly gets delivered tomorrow.  I already have the seam tape and the adhesive spray.  I have Jason (another coworker) bringing in some Pex crimpers, so I won't have to buy those.

I am going to cross off the attic vent item from the checklist since even if I had the AAV (air admittance valve) you can't install it without the plumbing stack in place, so I will do that when I do the plumbing.  Since Home Depot doesn't carry large enough ones for use on a stack, I will have to order it online.

The big task for tomorrow is to visit Key Bank to look at a loan, and hopefully tonight I can finish up the BOM for the plumbing.
