Day 180

The crew is focusing on installing the bullnose trim and edge trim.  They are also working on finishing the hanging stage of drywall in the garage.

This picture shows the first floor rotunda and where the hole in the ceiling will be located.

Day 179

October 27

A smaller crew is working on completing the drywall hanging.

 

   
  
  Yes, that is Brian up on the ladder inside the oculus showing the crew how he wants the drywall installed.  Of course, Brian knows better then the guys that do this everyday.  It came out pretty good, anyway.

Day 174

October 16

More drywall is going up in the house.

 

   

The room looks really different with the drywall up.

   

The crew has also started putting up drywall in the garage.

Day 173

October 15

The drywall installation continues.  The second floor ceiling is complete, and the first floor ceiling is going up.  The kitchen has walls.  It is very different from how we have become accustomed to the rooms looking.

Day 172

October 14

The installation of the drywall has begun!!

We also, this morning, added a tub liner pad to the second floor laundry room to protect the house in case of a laundry accident.

The ceiling boards go up first.

A moment of suspense as ceiling board is put up covering  the skylight

Brian helps out as the skylight is revealed.

       

Construction

Day 171

October 11

Brian has finished running the last of the in-wall wiring.  We have also completed any detail framing that needed to be finished before drywall could begin.

There is not much to do as we wait for the drywall and insulation crews to show up.

Maybe Dan can get motivated enough to work on painting some of the exterior.
