Day 265 - Status updates

Wednesday December 28th, 2005

These photos were taken at the start of the day. Here you can see that the soffit and fascia has been started. The guys started on Tuesday and the job should take a full four days.

The drywalling crew came in on Saturday, Christmas Eve, and partially drywalled the garage. Yesterday they boarded the kitchen, pantry, and part of the master bedroom. Today (Wed), they completed boarding the master bedroom closet and bath, and did the solarium.

Meantime the crew has been busy. Yesterday, Dave and I were the only ones in, as Chris, Sean and Patrick took an extra day off to recover from turkey feasting.

On Tuesday, Dave installed the pocket door kit for the master bathroom (twice! it was 3/4" too low the first time - ooops!) while I installed the extra cable outlet for the great room and the sound insulation in the master bedroom. Charles came along and the three of us cleared the tools, materials, and debris out of the master bath and closets so the boarders could get in there. We proceeded to the great room where I installed the insulation around the powder room and the BR2 wall. Dave added a bit of strapping to the back wall of the solarium, levelled the ceiling and built the fan base shown here.

Today (Wed), the boarders completed the master bedroom closets and part of the master bath (except the cement board for the shower), and started in the solarium. Meanwhile the crew was busy with: completing remedying the leaky vapour barrier in the pot lights, installing strapping on the porch for the soffits, levelling the ceiling in the great room, office, and bedroom 2. Meanwhile, I continued with installing the insulation. One more day of insulation installation should see that task completed.
