My first thought, who the hell do I call to do this work? My second thought (which should have been my first thought), Stew will know who to call! Of course, Stew was like, I'll go check it out in the morning when I drop off all that magnificent barn wood that I picked up for you at zero cost to use in your kitchen. (Insert 'thumbs up' emoticon here.)
Stew called at 6:44 AM this morning to report on what he found. (Seriously, what time does that guy wake up?!) He ended up buying some kind of saw - who knew there were so many different saws out there - so he could run the duct through the side of the house. Done. He also took out the old fan the electricians left behind. I'm like, really? My intent was not to have him do it, just tell me who to call. Amazing. I told him to go buy some Frisco Freeze and add it to my bill.
Apparently the original fan (pulled out by the electricians and replaced) was venting through a 0.5" hole in the side of the house. Ridiculous. This is what it was going through...possibly the weirdest thing ever.
If it weren't for my mom and Stew, I'd be a headcase right now.
In the meantime, I drove to the house last night to drop off cash for the sheetrocker. While there, I got a first glance at the ceilings and walls. Um...wow?! I think this is the first time the house looks like it is improving, not getting worse. The light! I see the light!
The ceiling is sort of a sandy finish. The wall texture is a heavy skip trowel design. Jeff said this is in line with the era of the house. And for the record, Jeff does phenomenal work.
Still need to primer/paint everything, but progress is being made!
