The engineer is here. He was supposed to come Tuesday but never called or anything. Then we scheduled for this morning around 8am so I could go to Crossfit and he did not bother calling or coming by until I called him at 10am. Now, no Crossfit but at least the work is getting done.

I shaved down those pieces in the living room. We are either close of there, I'm not sure because it is impossible to put a piece in from both sides and I already have 6 rows laid which I am not going to take up. This was the worst idea ever (*cough* Gayle *cough) because I have spent hours and hours trying to recut these boards and trying to get them to fit. There is no way to tell if they will actually fit until we get to the end of the room and they don't fit, which if that happens I will probably be yelling.

Edit: The engineer just finished. It is good news: he said I need

3 outlets put in (they have to be every 12 feet)
insulate the attic
add a 12 inch piece of concrete on the bottom on the outside

All this won't take very long or cost very much (not sure about the insulation).
