Day 288 - Dust!

Dust. It's pervasive. It's everywhere. The drywallers sand between each coat of plaster, and the dust is exceedingly fine.

I purchased a new filter for the shopvac from Lee Valley that is supposed to trap the fine drywall dust. I believe the filter is actually made from Goretex or a similar material.

The crew was busy this week fabricating the build-outs for the windows. Here they are all lined up like soldiers in the basement, ready to be installed.



Here are Dave and Chris preparing to install the build-out for the big window in the master bedroom. Every window has a few complications so it is not as simple as just jamming the jamb extension into the slot and fastening it in place.


This is the finished product, with the build-out for the window jamb extension in the master bath. That's Patrick outside, taking advantage of the +6C (a new record temp for Jan 20th) to apply some caulking above the window, to make absolutely sure that no water gets in.
