Let it Snow

The little house on Forbes Avenue is moving along.  On Tuesday, the insulators finished their job.  We used high and low density foam (ask Ted why and where).  As a special touch, Ted had the insulators spray foam on the living room ceiling below the master bedroom and on the wall between the master and the guest bath.  This will provide sound proofing for Galactica in case David and any invitees wish to carouse late into the night (late meaning after 9 p.m.)  Here's a few shots of the finished product:

3rd Floor looks like an igloo

On Wednesday, the drywall was delivered.  Ted had to take out the third floor stairs to get the pieces up to the 3rd floor.

The drywall,"came in through the bathroom window..." Literally

But as usual, there was no problem.  10 minutes after Ted said he had to remove the stairs,  the master was seen hanging out on the front porch, doing absolutely nothing.

Here's the master, here's the stairs

 The drywall rested comfortably on the third floor within minutes.  Monday the walls go up.

 

We also have a graded, seeded property.  No mud puddles for this cookie, no way.  We will grow annual rye grass (that's the grass covered by straw in the pictures).  The landscaper assured me that the grass will come up.  We shall see.

Now, you can see also:

So Neat and Tidy!

 

Ted and Jeremy are STILL finishing the stair tower. So many other to do's keep getting in the way. First they had to get ready for the insulators, then they had a series of tasks to prepare the walls for the sheet rockers.  Maybe tomorrow.

My job is to order some knobs, pick out the stone for the vanities, and pay, pay and pay.
