The insulation isn't quite finished yet. They were hoping to be done today, but I think it will be at least another 2-3 days. The have most of the upstairs complete, except for right at the peaks. They were waiting for their scaffolding to be delivered to complete those areas. A fair bit of the main floor is complete as well. They still need to do the basement, as well as the great room ceiling. Most of the other outer walls are complete on the mainfloor. They haven't started on the ceiling in the master bedroom yet. The house was extremely itchy tonight--even though we weren't in any of the insulation, there is lots of "dust" laying about.
We are still trying to find someone to do the soffits--no one is returning our calls...... Drywall should hopefully still start mid next week--keep your fingers crossed. We talked to Jaywest homes again (the supplier of the Viceroy home package) about the Hardiplank siding we need to put up. We were going to cut the siding to the right size, and then paint it, and then put it up--but Jaywest recommends cutting it, putting it up, and then painting. This actually works out okay, since we don't have to decide on a colour right now, as we were going to start putting some of the siding on in the next week. We'll just have to be extremely careful when painting not to spill/drop any on the shingles, or get in on the windows...

Insulation
The insulation installation has begun. They started on Tuesday morning, and are hoping to be finished by Friday. They started working on the 2nd floor, and so far have Joshua's and Nathan's rooms complete, with Jacob's almost done. They have started on the office dormer, and a little bit in the games room.
Todd was out working on the shingles on the east side of the garage last night, as well as putting the last few bits of Tyvek in place. We are still looking for someone to do the soffits, so hopefully we will hear back from someone soon!

No insulation yet!!
Todd was out at the house last night, but the insulators hadn't made it out yesterday. There was a small chance that they might make it there in the afternoon. They should have been out there this morning, and had a full day's work. It is supposed to take them about 3 days, so we have our ATB financing inspection scheduled for next Monday--then the drywall can start. I am very excited to see the house with insulation, and then drywall!! Once the drywall is done, we will paint, then get flooring in. Hard to believe we are getting this close.....
