Walls going up.....

Walls going up....

November 19th -- After rushing this past weekend to get the insulation finished before the drywall crew, it was disappointing that by late Monday (yesterday) there was still no evidence that the drywall crew had even stopped by.  Below you can see the rest of my insulation efforts, particularly where I've tried to use insulation to dampen the sound of plumbing and the laundry machines. I even "encased" the sewer lines in insulation, shown at the top of the framed chase in the first two two photos below.

And...this morning at 7:15am, I heard some rumblings downstairs.  Yippie, Skippy --  the dry wall crew was already at work.

Here is the first wall to go up -- this is the wall near the rear-entry that will be part of the galley kitchen (in the photo to the left you can see the rear door). 


 The drywall guys said they plan to put in 10 hours today and finish by late tomorrow.





Here is an "action" shot of the drywall guys.  As everyone has repeatedly told me, you can see the dust particles already flying in the air through the lens of the camera.

In the meantime, the painters are trying to finish up -- the forecast is predicting measurable snow (between 3 and 6 inches) starting late tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon and ending early Friday morning.  

The roofer stopped by yesterday to install a rubber, water-proof liner on the floor of the covered deck as that floor is part of the roof that covers the gathering room.
