We went down a bit later to see the fireworks this year after having another great cookout with the neighbors. Tough to find a parking space! Managed to find one of the last spots left to sit next to the water. So many people. The boat parade was going strong, and the laser show began as the sky darkened. It ended with a countdown - and then - nothing. We waited for about twenty minutes and then gave up. Somehow seemed fitting given the current state of affairs. Naomi took the girls down the next night to see the show as it ended up being postponed for a day, but one late night was enough for me.
I have a sore back from all the shoveling this week. Yesterday was so hot and sweaty at 9am that I took the girls for a swim in the big lake just after 10. That cold water felt great! Luckily the temps have come down after a lot of rain and should stay there for a while now. Couldn't get the water heater working, so had a plumber come out to fix it and got a quote for a tankless version - 5350! We were shocked. The one we had installed in the NL was only around 2300, and it also served as our furnace. Hard to understand these American ways of doing things.
Didn't get as far as I had hoped with the foundation, but it is almost ready for concrete. Water earth battery lines are in along with the tanks and the air earth battery and geothermal lines are all set to go. Too hot to work in the afternoons, so I made some progress on the guest room. Finished up the ceiling and most of the window. Moving onto the closet soon.
