I was a little intimidated when I looked online at some of the other houses that will be participating. There are over 60 houses that will be open this weekend, and some of them are HUGE. Many are for sale, and have been professionally staged. Ours is going to look small and rather eclectically furnished by comparison, but since we aren't trying to sell it, I guess it doesn't really matter. Anyone who would look down their noses at our house probably wouldn't be good potential clients for SAI or Marta, anyway. Rob is coming by tomorrow to spruce up our front yard, and SAI is sending someone over on Friday to clean the house for us, so all we'll need to do is tidy up and hide any small, valuable items that we don't want to walk away.
Meanwhile, the saga of the radiant floor heat continues. It was unseasonably cold (40's) and rainy over the weekend, so it was pretty chilly in the house. The heat was sort of on, but the temperature kept fluctuating and never got above 66, even though the thermostat was set at 68. Uncle Lewis came back this morning to continue bleeding the air out of the system, and Steve W showed up soon after to help him out. They were both here until 5 pm (I was working from home today), and said they'd be coming back tomorrow morning to meet with a specialist. Fortunately, it's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's for the next few days, so even if it takes a couple more days to get the system running at full efficiency, it should be a little more bearable in the interim. I'm sure Steve is highly motivated to make sure everything is working properly by this weekend.
