Not quite finished!

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...
