A fairly quiet day for a change (he thought) with only Steve here insulating plumbing and Sean stopping by for lunch to review the punch list I’ve been assembling.  Chree and I got her video doorbell operating.  Now, when someone rings our doorbell, she can see and talk to that person, no matter where she is in the world, so long as her smart phone is connected to the internet.  Pretty slick!  Steve and I finally figured out what the extraneous AWG 12-2 wire under the stairs is for: it connects to the radiant floor heat controller in the storage room cabinet.  Which explains, also, why that controller wasn’t getting any power.  Connected the wire to the hot water recirculating pump circuit under the stairs.  Kate and Danny stopped by just as John Plant was arriving to sand the garage drywall, for which I needed to empty the garage of “stuff”, and just as Steve needed help with some woodwork in the mechanical room, and just as the phone was ringing.  Perfect timing, so Kate and Danny came back again mid-afternoon for a tour.  They oohed and ahhed in all the right places…
