Month: September 2017

Workers finished hanging the rest of the drywall yesterday. Todd is spending today cleaning up their mess and covering the subfloor with paper in preparation for the mudders next week.

So they don’t have to get on and off their stilts, the workers do all the high drywall work first–ceilings and top half of the walls.

All of the exterior siding has been painted, and drywall has been staged throughout the interior in preparation for hanging.

The siding is being painted while drywall is being delivered.

Returned from a week in VA to find much progress outside.

With tropical storm remnants from Harvey and Irma passing through, it’s been pretty rainy for nearly 10 days. There is still water seeping into the crawl space, but gutter installation should solve this problem.

Meanwhile, on the inside, insulation is complete.

It’s been a while since anyone has done inside work, despite passing inspections, but insulation has begun. Chris is by almost daily to check on things.
