Drywall!

Well after two drywall contractors not bothering to show up the drywall is finally done.... and primed and painted (pics of that tomorrow). The trim was completed by our main contractor and is turning out to be an amazing match to the original trim work in the house.

Lots of projects have actually been completed this week (since these pictures were taken). I will get pictures and post the progress tomorrow.

Waiting... and updates

I didn't get around to posting these pics from August 26th... so here they are. The windows and doors are in and the house wrap is complete. The insulation and vapour barrier was complete - regular stuff in the walls and spray foam on the slant (knee) walls as well as a 1inch layer of spray foam in the ceiling in the old part of the house to act as a vapour barrier under the new blown in insulation. All the old blown in and bat crap was all removed of the old attic section.

The waiting came in with our first setback. Fortunately nothing too serious, just waiting for drywallers. The first crew just stopped answering or returning calls from our contractor. We lost a week of work (contractor was working on window casing and doors at the shop). The next guy was supposed to come on Sunday to have a look and do the work Monday and Tuesday... yup another no show. So the main contractor started drywalling the bedroom, it is now done and they have another crew coming in Friday to drywall the kitchen and do the taping. He's already been here once, so lets hope he shows up on Friday.
