Monday afternoon, returning from work, I declared success. We finished up the wiring on Sunday morning and by Sunday afternoon we were relaxing in a 65 degree house. The weather forecast for the week is 99 degrees F and high humidity. Good thing we have air conditioning.

And then the power went out… and stayed out. Its been nearly 48 hours now and BGE is still working on the issue. News crews have been in the area so our discomfort is not in our heads, its news worthy! Without electric, there is little work I can get done on the house, if I could stand doing it in the heat.

Kitty and I tried to find comfort on the roof, but the breezes were not enough, so we packed our bags and headed to Ian’s house for the night.  Hopefully power comes back on tonight so we can get back to work.
