Day 233 - A busy Saturday

Here you can see the results of the electricians work. The yellow plastic grommets are snapped in place in the cutouts in the steel studs to prevent the electrical wire from getting cut or damaged by the sharp edge of the metal.

This is Heinz, the cabinet maker. Heinz is taking the exact measurements for the cabinets, so they will fit precisely. Here Heinz is comparing his drawings for the main bath with his measurements.


This is Thorson, whose company installs vapour barrier and ceiling insulation. Fiberglass batting costs $1.50/sf to place and blown-in cellulose costs $0.85/sf. We need the fiberlass on the cathedral ceilings (the blown in stuff will slip down the slope) and the blown in stuff will be over all the flat ceilings. From a budget perspective, we are going to skip insulating the garage which would put us 35% over budget for the insulation. Without the garage, we will be 4% over budget. We will need to insulate the ceiling whenever we hook up the heating in the garage slab.

Other people came too - Renee the drywaller, who I didn't even see because I was talking with Dave the electrician - and I am sure there were others.
