Dry-Wall Day 2 and HVAC Trunks

Dry-Wall Day 2 and HVAC Trunks

Stopped by the house today after work today, they have continued hanging the drywall in the house. Today they put up the ceiling in the master bedroom, closets, laundry room, foyer, garage, and they also almost finished all of the drywall in the garage except for one piece in the corner. I also checked down in the basement and it looks like the HVAC guys stopped by this morning and started running the main HVAC trunks.

I talked to Curt today and he said they are hoping to finish hanging this week and start finishing the drywall on Friday. They are also hoping to pour the garage floor and porch by the end of the week. I think the thing we are looking forward to most is that they are hoping to start working on the siding at the end of the week, not sure if they will finish but it will look a lot nicer once the siding is installed.

Some of the things I need to follow up with Curt on tomorrow are figuring out when they are going to drop off the trim at the house so we can start sanding and painting the trim before it goes up. I also would like to know when we will be able to start painting. It is all going to happen quickly once the dry-wall is finished so I would like to be prepared so that we aren't delaying the process.

Sorry everyone I got a little behind at the end of last week as I was running Ethernet and insulating the garage and certain interior walls every day after work... Not much progress took place last week as we were waiting for the hangers to put up the drywall and they were not able to start until Friday. Basically they began dry-walling the ceilings in the house, they finished the upstairs and the kitchen ceilings. The heater was assembled down in the basement but still not all of the piping is complete yet... The gas company stopped by on Friday and they were able to run the gas line from the road to the house.

Not a lot to share on monday, basically all of the drywall was delivered to the house. The drywaller's should start hanging the drywall on Wednesday Morning. I also noticed that there was caulk ran on all of the framing boards around the windows and doors! I am not too sure if they did that when they did all of the other insulation and i just missed  it or they came back today and did this, but it looked really good.

Sorry I have gotten a bit behind, I have been going straight to the house after work insulating the garage and running Ethernet cable throughout the house every day. I am going to catch up on what has happened since last Thursday and today.

Thursday the Insulation contractors came over to the house and completely insulated the entire garage except for the basement insulation which is the home owner’s responsibility. Although at this point I have gone ahead and insulated the Garage myself which wasn't too bad and can be done easily if you are willing to take the time and hang all of the insulation yourself, I think it ended up taking me about 3-4 hours and I did everything by myself which is why it took me so long... if I had another person I probably could have knocked this out in an hour or two at max.

They also poured the basement floor and when I got home from work they were still working on the finish of the floor. It's kind of hard to see because i wasnt able to walk on the floor yet, but the concrete looks really good and they are sloping to the sump pump pit which is nice.

Here are some of the pictures i had

Plumbing Day 2

Plumbing Day 2

They finished up most of the plumbing today. They have all of the septic pipe ran and they have the PEX pipe ran up to where the vanities, toilets, and bathtubs will be. It looks like they ran PEX throughout the house, which confused me a little bit because when I asked to use PEX they told me it was an $800 upgrade which I did not want to pay for... Anyways, they also plumbed in the bathroom in the basement and set the crock for the basement plumbing.

They will be insulating all of the exterior walls and pouring the basement floor tomorrow. The plan is to start dry walling next week. I will be running my Ethernet and putting up my insulation in the garage before they start dry walling next week.

Here are the pictures of the plumbing that happened in Day 2
