Another Couple Days of Progress

Our carpenter extraordinaire Darrell Hudson framed out the 2nd skylight in the T-suite. He tore out one side of the upstairs hall along with some prep of one angled ceiling surface to see if the plaster can be repaired. Topher insulated the hallway bathroom wall for sound and Darrell started drywall in the hallway ceiling before being driven out by a rain of cellulose insulation above. The electricians continued roughing in the T-suite... and it is now fully powered up. Our Mason Ted Gillis generously lent is his labourer/apprentice? Justin to take out the inside layer of bricks in the basement in preparation for sprayfoaming joist ends on Monday... 🤞 Despite working in a small space everyone works amazingly well together. Another local fella has been removing all of the varied insulation in the attic... which will be sprayfoamed Monday then will receive blow in insulation to R50 on Wednesday. The garbage bag pics are the results. The best part? Justin had the idea for Chris to post free insulation on Facebook Marketplace... the insulation has already begun getting picked up! We were overwhelmed by the requests. We could have sold it! That said, we are just glad it is not going into the landfill. Sarah began scraping the ceiling of the T-suite dining area as an experiment to see what level of effort has to be made to prep the calcimide paint (hard and smooth as granite) for repairs and painting.
