Sheetrock progress

 

Let there be lights!

As of yesterday, electrical rough-in is complete. The inspector came through and things look good. We are one day ahead of schedule.
Next week: Sheetrock.

Information Center

Here's where the contractors keep track of everything that goes on. On this table are plans, permits, documentation, specifications, and more. Everything stays here all the time so it can be accessible by the subcontractors, our project manager, or inspectors.

 

Electrical has begun

Electrical work started today and will continue for the rest of the week. Nearly all framing is complete. If all goes well, drywall work begins next week.

Can lights.


Electrical in the half bath.

Garage push-in and large beam

 
  

Behold, the Mystic Portals!

 
 

Here are the plastic zippers we have to open and close every time we go up- and downstairs. Yes, it's a pain, but it helps keep the dust out. We also use an air cleaner upstairs that seems to help with the dust. Note duct tape and Swingline® stapler repair on lower portal. This was necessitated after I stuck my foot through the thing on the first night of the project.

 

No more ceiling!

  

No more popcorn!!

 The asbestos abatement crew came today. Several guys spent almost twelve hours safely removing the asbestos popcorn from our ceiling. 

Day 5: Framing progress

Framing is progressing, with the main beam installed where the old living room/kitchen wall used to be. We also see the outline of our new pantry on the back side of the kitchen. Where the new sliding glass door will go, they have put in the framing and installed the old door temporarily.
