The Siding guys- Dave & Dave are done with our upper siding and trim. It looks great and they got it done in record time. They worked great with Mike as he was their "cut guy" and cut all the siding to their liking. Many thanks for their help. They were great to work with and appreciated my attempts at cooking lunch for them. Yes- I am becoming chief cook and bottle washer since Mike is building this house. I haven't killed anyone off yet but it has been a real challenge for me to learn how to get everything on the table at one time.
This week the Insulation guys showed up. In drove two big trucks- one has a large generator with pumps in it and the other had misc supplies. This is a very interesting process- they spray a thin layer of soybean based insulation on the walls- then spray on the actuator. The first layer BLOOMS out from the wall and fills the gaps (like watching the cartoon the HULK). The material is like a styrofoam- soft and firm at the same time. After the spraying is all complete- they come in and trim it down to size with saws so the sheetrock can be attached to the studs. They will come back and do the lower level ceiling and above the ceiling sheetrock once the rock has been hung.
Spraying it on.
The Blooming insulation!
Trimmed out insulation on the floor and upper insulation that needs to be trimmed.
Next week the sheetrock guys show up and MEA (Electric company) gets started on getting power to our site. Good News- the kitchen windows are in and ready for pick up. Now the house will truly be ready for cold weather as it is water tight.
