A Slow Down

Well, I guess things didn't move quite as fast last week as we had hoped.....

The HVAC guys got in there on Tuesday and cut in for the vents and cold air returns.  But they didn't run any duct work as they need to move a couple of water lines in our basement for the new feeds.  They are waiting on that until all the drywall work is done as to not pull drywall dust into our house and to not leave us with air conditioning.  They figure they can get it done in one day.

Electrical did get in and was inspected and approved!  So we are done with that until final hookup/inspection.

Our contractor, Bill, spent the weekend getting the walls insulated and the poly up on the walls and the ceiling.  Hopefully that means drywall will be starting today?

Here is a look down the hallway from Libby's new room towards where the addition will enter the family room/kitchen area.  We are not going to cut the hole out until the drywall is complete.

Here is a look at the smaller of the two rooms, what we will use as a "toy room".

And here is a look at what will become Libby's new room.

On the floor front, Denise and I got the laundry/utility room completed and took care of some "gaps" that were visible.  It is amazing that it takes one just as long to do a doorway as it does the rest of the room, I guess we haven't figured out the doorway "trick" yet.  Trying to cut the boards just right to eliminate any visible gaps and getting the boards to lock together can be troublesome.  So, all we have left now is Denise's bathroom and out little entry area by our front door.  We could probably pound both of those out in weekend if two little helpers would let us work.  Once the addition is done, we will be able to finish the strip we have left in our family room/kitchen area and down the hallway.  Hopefully by the time our cruise rolls around, all of this will be done.
