Week Six of Construction on House #2

First came the insulation. This type of insulation is called bib.
A very thin layer of this material is tacked to the studs along all of the outer walls.



















Then this cotton-like stuff is blown into the cavity that is created.



















This is the end result.















Next came the drywall.





























By Saturday, the inside was all taped and floated.















..........and on the outside? They were painting!














They completely painted all of the siding and the fascia. Hurray!!

Week Five of Construction on House #2

Well I am very behind on posting last week's progress, but better late than never.
The week began with shingles on the roof.














Then the electrician's arrived and began wiring for lights, switches, and outlets. This is a pic of all the recessed cans (lighting) in my kitchen.














Next, came the plumbers and water lines were run for the baths and the kitchen.




























Last, but not least, this is R modeling what Daddy (apparently) does on the job site. :)

Week Four of Construction on House #2

The week began with T-ply (moisture barrier) going up all around the the exterior of the house. Next came the solar board (for efficient heating and cooling) and roof felt.















This is the view from the back of the house by the middle of the week. The roof felt, siding, windows, door, and trim are all in place.














The shop is also progressing well.



















By the end of the week the duct-work and air conditioner/furnace unit are all in place.















This is the view from the front of the house. There is no hardi-siding , because we will have limestone exterior here.















Another busy week!!
