Finally Moving Forward Again

I am sorry for not posting an update last week, but due to our windows being on backorder, they did not accomplish much.  They did paint the eaves, but otherwise, not much happened.

However it did not take long for the birds to discover my office and build a nest in the ceiling.

And crap all over the floor.

The windows finally showed up last Wednesday and they were able to get them installed on Thursday.

Tina wanted a garden window in the kitchen.  The garden window they ordered was different than what we both expected, but we both like it better than what we thought it was going to be.  It has a glass shelf that can be set in the middle of the window, so I think it will work out nicely for growing Tina’s herbs.

They also started blowing the insulation into the walls and ceiling.

I am not sure if they plan to do a second coat of the insulation or if they are planning on just sheetrocking over it as is.  But we noticed some of the walls the insulation comes right to the edge of the studs, while some of it is only an inch or two deep.  I have a call into our builder to ask about that.  I am obviously not going to accept an insulation job that does not completely fill the void in the studs.

They also dropped off the sheetrock and mud.  I believe they have the sheetrockers scheduled to start this week.

They also delivered the roofing materials this week.  So I expect they will be installing the roof this coming week as well.  We decided to go with a steel roof so it should last for the rest of our lives.

Hopefully, this will be the last delay until we start our part of the construction.
