Ready For Drywall!

The vapour barrier was put up today and all the nooks and crannies were sealed up inside in preparation for drywall! Our "oh so awesome" gas fireplace was installed today and it looks like there will be steel going on the roof tomorrow, loving the momentum right now!

POD

In other news, we have moved out of the Schoolhouse as our closing day is this Friday. Seeing as our house is a "tad off being liveable", my kind in-laws have taken us in. We needed a home for our stuff, so we rented a POD, they are so cool and their transport and moving process is unreal, I suggest checking out YouTube to see a video.

Windows & Doors!

Well, now that the weather is supposed to be nice for almost a whole week, we have a (nearly) sealed house. All the windows and doors were installed today and our shower and tub faucets are roughed in. The house is so much quieter inside with windows!!

A Few of Our Selections

I thought I would post a few pictures of the house "things" we have purchased so far.

Ready For Winter...... Almost

The spray foam was done today and looks great! The exterior of the existing structure and the interior of the addition is covered, we should be warm this winter! The roof and exterior board prep should be one this week and even some windows!

We went out tonight and picked our shower and tub faucets and shower heads....... too many choices out there! So for the downstairs shower we decided on a top and side head and a side head for the upstairs. We also went for a tap/faucet/retractable shower faucet for the jacuzzi, to make it easier to clean!

Rain, rain and oh yeah..... more rain.

Well, if nothing else, the house is getting a good wash with all this rain!

The roof is ready for steel and the framing inspection was today, the majority of the plumbing is complete and the sub floor upstairs and downstairs is laid! WE should see some serious progress this week!
