insulation and siding




We have been working this week on insulating and got started today on siding. I had to go to Nashville to a sales meeting so I am sorry to say I didn't get to work with the insulation but Delinda and her Mom, Judy have done about 60-70% of the wall insulation. Everything on the 1st story is done and they started on the 2nd story today.



We bought a whirlpool tub for the master bath that has required a box to be framed around it. I wouldn't recommend buying a tub that does not already have the box built in. It took a couple of days to figure out how to get that thing level and build the frame so the tub would be centered.


Yesterday the temperature dropped back down to highs in the 40s after reaching the mid 70s earlier in the week. Ironically just as we planned to get the siding done we have to stand out in the wind and cold. Mark and Gary from church came out and helped today, Mark had worked with siding before so that was a big help. We are going to do about 70% siding and 30% brick on the exterior. Our upcoming plans are to be ready for sheetrock by mid week and probably get the garage floor poured and leveled before working on the garage walls.
