Monday January 2nd, 2006Rick, installing the soffit outside the solarium. The crew has almost completed installing the soffit and fascia. It was nice that it was milder today (high -4C) so they were able to make good progress. There is probably only one day of work left in the soffits and fascia. They will run out of materials so Larry picked up some more J-trim and fascia for them so they can complete the installation.
The drywall boarders were hard at it today upstairs, doing part of the stairwell and the hallway. There is still more work to do - amazing how much there is.Meanwhile, the finish work has started. This is Chris, taping the drywall seams in the basement. He was able to complete about half of the basement. The basement gets taped only, and the main level gets the full finishing treatment.
There is always something unexpected...This is the transom window in the office. For some reason, it cracked sometime between Dec 23 and Dec 28th. Nobody was working in the room at the time so it seems to me that it must have been a manufacturing defect.
Meanwhile, this weekend Freda and I sorted out the details for the closets. We also did a lot of packing today before heading out to the house to meet Joseph, to get a painting quote. I walked around the house and picked up the aluminum offcuts from the soffit and fascia installation so Tawny won't get her feet cut on the sharp scraps.
Tomorrow is back to work again... for Freda. I have taken the week off and will head out to the house again to work with the crew. One thing on the list for Tuesday is loadup up Charles' truck with drywall debris to take to the dump.
