Already a delay...

Talked to the drywaller today, and it now sounds as though the insulating won't start until Tuesday or Wednesday.... I told him I already had an inspection scheduled for next Monday, June 25th, and the insulation needed to be done for that--so we'll see if they come through or not. The insulating is only supposed to take 2-3 days. Our heating guy was out finishing up his stuff today, although we need to cut two duct pathways slightly larger, so we will do that Sunday night, and then they will finish up on Monday.

We Passed!!!

We passed the framing and electrical inspections today. We did have to make a few minor adjustments, but nothing major!!! For framing, we had to put in a few extra nails in the joist hangers, and add a little bit of vapour barrier in Josh and Nathan's closets, as they are on outside walls. For electrical, we had to put in a few bigger outlet boxes, provide some backing at switch plates, move one outlet as it was too close to the steam shower, and install one electrical outlet closer to the central vacuum outlet. We picked out a hood fan, as we need to get the ducting in place for that, as well as hook up the electrical to that. A big thanks to our Dads for all the great work they did!!!! The house is looking great, thanks to Mom H and all her cleaning up. There isn't too much in the way for the insulators to start on Monday.....

This is the corn starting to grow.
And the pumpkins
The only place that still needs Tyvek is the office dormer in the back, and Todd just needs to move the lift around to there.
Look how clean Nana has the house!!!

Garage Doors

We also have the garage doors ordered, but it was a 4 week delivery time, so they should be in the next week and a half. We ended up going with a Wayne Dalton Sonoma Paneled door, without windows. We needed one 16' x 8' door and 0ne 9' x 8' door. I am looking forward to seeing them installed.

Our Garden

I forgot to mention that the garden is sprouting!!! We have sunflowers, corn, onions, carrots, marigolds, and candytufts starting to poke through the soil. Jacob was absolutely thrilled!!! We'll have to see how they fair from here on out......

Busy, busy, busy

The garage door
The white pipe is part of the rough in for the central vacuum system
Dirty boy!!
Another dirty boy!
One sad boy!
All the tyvek.
The front window--only 1 window left, and it can't go in until after the drywall has been dropped off.

ATCO put in the gasline Friday, and smoothed the driveway while they were at it!!!

Putting in the infloor heat!

Insulation--ready for Monday, June 18th.
