Thanks for the update, Ginny. Hopefully this is the first baby step for him back to health.

I haven't poured myself a glass of wine, but I think I'm going to sign off for the night too. It's been a long day for me.

I am not at all excited about going to my 30 year class reunion this weekend. Is that a bad thing?

We visited ICU during the last evening visiting period. Only John's wife and youngest daughter and her boyfriend were there and only Richard went in to see John. They're having visitors put on gowns and gloves while they rule out his having something infectious, so I stayed in the waiting room with the family. No change in John's condition, except that his blood pressure has stabilized - which was the desired effect of putting him back on the vent.

~~~Continued Vibes for John!!~~~

They were supposed to install it when my roof was re-roofed, but it wasn't. Then, it was supposed to be installed when the next building was re-roofed (so the installers only have to make one trip). That was supposed to be last week, but the next building wasn't re-roofed. I don't know why. Now, I have no idea when the next roof will be done, meaning, I have no idea (still) when my new operable skylight will be installed. And this week, it's going to be the hottest that it's been in a LONG time.

I say.

Well...as I drove to work this morning (after posting the message above), I saw that another building in my condo complex was being re-roofed!! When I got to work, I called the property manager and left a message asking if this means that I'll be getting my new operable skylight. She called me back a little later and said that the roofers (who are supposed to install my new operable skylight) will contact me. When I came home this afternoon, there was a business card with a note asking me to call the roofers. I spoke to the guy and he said that my new operable skylight will be installed tomorrow (Tuesday) morning!! AT 8:00 AM! That's just when I normally wake up. $:-\$ But I don't care. I want that darned new operable skylight put in! So, I'm finally getting my new operable skylight!!

I'm through with my viewing for the evening and shall now just relax.

Almost exactly two years ago, I posted that it was very hot up in my bedroom. On July 12, 2007, 12:01:52 AM (at the end of the day for the topic UP IN ARMS), I wrote:

When I came home this evening (at about 10:30 pm), the temperature up in my bedroom was 93 degrees!! AND it's at the top of my 3-story town house condo, AND there's no open-able window up at the top! The heat just goes up there and stays. I have a couple of fans blowing air around but it still can't actually cool the air. $:-\$

The next day of posts (also July 12, 2007, 11:06:45 PM, but the topic was WAXING AND WANING), I posted that I wanted to change my skylight from one that doesn't open to one that does:

Quote

I am really thinking about getting a portable air conditioner...or seeing if I can be allowed to make my skylight in my loft bedroom an openable skylight. All of the condos in this complex have the exact same kind of skylights, except some are square and some are half-sized rectangles. When I was looking at places to buy, one of the other units in this complex had a square skylight (like mine) that could crank open! I hope that that's a possibility because otherwise, there really isn't any easy way to get rid of the hot air up there

On July 14, 2007 (topic, PETULANT), Jeanne posted some hints (I saved them in a word document, which is how I remembered all of this):

Quote

On the subject of skylights, I differ. My present home has three skylights, two of them being the operable sort. A previous abode had an inoperable skylight, which always leaked. I concluded from that experience that skylights always leak. Not so. When I bought this house one of the skylights leaked. I learned that the two operable ones had been installed incorrectly--the remodeler had ignored the (clearly stated) manufacturer's instructions and had NOT provided the proper pitch. I had a contractor do so and caulk them adequately, and VIOLA! no leaks.

It can be difficult to retrofit this, however, because the junction of the skylight and the roof is important. GEORGE, I would contact the manufacturer of your existing skylight and ask if they make any operable ones the same size as your existing one, and also how difficult he thinks it would be to make the change.

BTW, my skylights were made by Andersen Windows, and even though the installation error was clearly not Andersen's fault, they gave me new sashes (the portion of the skylight which contains the glass) free of charge. I had to pay my contractor to do the modification, however. So I must say that Andersen went the extra mile and then some.

BTW #2, I couldn't LIVE in this house without those two operable skylights! The extra ventilation makes a huge difference.

BTW#3: some models have a screen to keep out the flying insects.

George · « **Reply #227 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:11:45 PM »

The new skylight IS supposed to have a screen.

George · « **Reply #228 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:12:09 PM »

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS, BUT IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!! And since the roofers (who just put a new roof on my building) are ordering and installing all the skylights for the condo complex (if the owners want new ones), the workmanship will be covered under their warranty!

George · « **Reply #229 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:24:23 PM »

Well, since I got very little sleep last night, I'm going to go to bed now, in the hopes that I'll get some sleep. I'm going to bring the foam mattress from my bedroom upstairs down to the sleeper-sofa (I should've done that last night, but I didn't think that the sleeper-sofa would be SO uncomfortable) and take the batteries out of the two clocks, so that there is silence. And if I'm able to get to sleep earlier than usual, it won't be so bad when the roofers come early tomorrow to install the new skylight. I'll make sure that I get up earlier than they're supposed to be here, so that I can make myself presentable.

Good night, all!

Vibes to one and all and also all and one.

Yes vibes to all.

The rabbit ears did not work. I guess I'm stuck buying a new tv. The smallest one is still $200.00. Will have to wait.

I made this big stink in my building about the smell, and then of course everyone stopped talking to me. And now I just found out my manager was arrested a couple of days ago. (for something completely different I think).

I'm curious to see what happens. Maybe I'll stay if things change for the better (if the management company pays more attention to the building out of quilt it would help).

Sam · « **Reply #233 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:41:13 PM »

Goodnight all.

Good vibe Tuesday.
