The Last Wall

We attacked the north side of the house today—the only side that hasn't yet been insulated and re-sided with cement board panels. This was originally a family room with a full bathroom. We gutted the bathroom and put a new entry door in its place. A new bathroom will be built in one corner, and there will also be a mudroom with a large cedar closet. The main space will be used as a office/work space, studio, and guest room.

Ladder Man

Ladder Man strikes again!

In October we finished siding the south and east sides for the house, did some more interior demolition work, and  added spray foam insulation under the eaves. We tried out a DIY spray foam that we bought online, but ran out and had a local company come in to finish the work. Tomorrow, our third and final (I hope) dumpster arrives and we're looking forward to clearing out the accumulated piles of drywall, chip board, and moldy insulation.

Foam insulation looks like mint meringue.

... and is really messy stuff!
