The title refers to the electrical inspection. We had expected to have it today, but we didn't quite make it. It is now scheduled for Monday. The networking and alarm prewire will happen on Sunday. The insulator will come and start doing the batts for the cathedral ceiling on Monday. The poly and strapping will start after the electrical inspection, with the plan to have the blower door test this week, and then start drywalling.
In Day 244's post I mentioned the chimney is not straight. Here is a photo of it - you don't need to zoom in to see that it is not straight. Unfortunately, it will take more than just changing the chimney cap as the chimney is strapped in crooked all the way up. I've called the chimney guy but he hasn't responded. It will be very challenging for them to fix it if they delay too long.
For the sake of something different, I took a photo of the the house fom Howie Rd. It nestles into the tree line nicely with no lights on.
Thiis is a photo of the baffles under the roof. These baffles are part of the R2000 spec, and their purpose is to prevent wind from riffling through the insulation and cooling it off. After all, insulation works on the principle of trapped air so if the air is moving it makes sense that you will benefit if you can prevent this. Here is a CMHC quote:
Windwashing occurs where wind blows through insulation disturbing the trapped warm airpockets replacing them with cold exterior air on a constant basis. The effect of this is to seriously degrade the effective resistance value of the insulation. Therefore wind washingmust be minimized as part of the insulation process.
The replacement sealed unit windows have arrived. They are scheduled to be installed on Sunday. We are glad about that as the previous install date we had was after Christmas.
