Outside Trim & Porch Post

While the guys are drywalling inside, the contractor has started the trim work outside.

The back porch is looking more substantial (still missing railings, but getting there!)

Here's how it looked last week:


It's a little hard to see in photos, against the white house wrap, but there are white trim boards that he's working on now...

Column-ish details along the back, on the sides of the windows...

Sheet Rock- Day 3

They've completed hanging the drywall the closet...

Doorway from Master Bath into closet 

Once inside the doorway, you turn right and see this...

Master Closet

Reverse- the laundry room is on the other side of this wall



Speaking of the Laundry Room- that drywall is all put up too!

There's still a small section across from that hallway door (you can see an extension cord running to it) that needs to be put in.  This is the opening we have been using to get in & out of the closet & master bath since the bedroom opening isn't broken through yet.

That's up next!

Sheet Rock- Day 2

The drywall is all up in the Master Bath.  However the doorway to the bedroom still isn't broken through (we're sliding through an opening in the closet to get the pics!)


They've started in the master closet...

Insulation!

After the framing inspection was passed, they were able to move forward with insulation!

Early Tuesday morning (two weeks ago), a truck arrived to deliver it...

About 20 minutes later, the guy arrived to install it.  It only took him a few hours (a second man came to help for a portion of the time).

Here's the tour...

Foam insulation around the door.

I can't believe how much more real it all feels with this done.. no more echo when we talk, or hollow sounding clomping when we walk through it!

Drywall was delivered & they began hanging it on last Monday!  Photos to come on that!
