The walls are
being constructed to support the new bathrooms.
·
On Monday, the
roof-truss work will begin, which is important because then the roofing company
can begin their work.
·
As soon as it
dries up a little bit, the storm-sewer will be dug up behind the Laughrun
House.
·
The moisture test
on the basement will be conducted this coming week.
·
All the fixtures
have been ordered for the bathroom and the kitchen.

The representative
from Piedmont Natural Gas will be out Wednesday to see about laying a new line
to the Laughrun House (so it can run on natural gas and save us money in the
long run).
How all this saves us money …
This is an investment that will pay us back & reduce our ongoing
operating budget:
Did you know we pay for the piano to be tuned four times a
year because of the humidity? Not any
more! We’ll only be paying once a year.
You all know the cost of oil (about $4 a gallon)… Changing to
natural gas will cost us 1/3 of our current fuel expenses.
Right now we pay Roto-Rooter twice a year to clean out our storm
sewer behind the Laughrun House. Soon we’ll
solve
the problem instead of ongoing payments for a temporary fix.
The Laughrun House furnace runs at about 65% efficiency right
now, but the new natural gas one will run at about 95%.
