Sheetrock installation begins

The sheetrock should take 3 weeks, that includes taping, skim coat and plaster! Sorry do not know what splatter got on the lense

Sheetrock arrives

On Friday July 20th the sheetrock was delievered. Installation, taping and skim/plaster coat should take 3 weeks. The exterior doors are installed, except for the 2 that were ordered incorrectly. After sheetrock interior doors will be installed, trim around windows and baseboard in bedroom will be installed. Rock and siding installation should start by mid-August

Insulation

The insulation is being installed with sheetrock to follow within a couple of days. A fine wire mesh is stapled to the framing and then a hose with a sharp metal tube pierces the mesh and the fiberglass material is blown in. Goes quick and should delivery a R26-R30 value with the 2x6 framing. We did not get pictures of the fiberglass being blown in because we did not have any breathing masks with us and we did not want to inhale the stuff.

When walking into the rooms that have the insulation installed the sound changes dramatically as the exposed absorbs all sound, creapy!

Mantel, more wiring and septic tank

Yup, we have to deal with sewer. We need a septic tank and, because we located the house down hill from the common piping system that connects to the leach field, we have to add a lift station (fancy and expensive way to say pump). All wiring for electric, audio, phone and network are in. Big inspection on Tuesday.
