Progess: insulation, drywall, and brick!

This blog is organized from most recent pictures to the oldest. These pictures span from early July through early August. BUT the most recent pictures are not yet uploaded. The drywall and taping are now completed as of today.

These first few are pictures from the morning before before the drywall began going up. This was the last time I could get shots of the foam insulation before it would be covered for good by the drywall. The staging of the drywall can be described in no other way that extraordinary feats of strength. The guys brought the very heavy sheets of dry wall in very early on the last day of the insulation before I even knew it.






Here is progress from the first day of brick work. The brick mason and his crew got a great start the first day as you can see.

Another shot of the insulation. This is from the media room.

After a long July of many things leading up to insulation and dry wall we are finally turning a corner. My last blog was back on June 27th and honestly I don't know where July went because went I look at pictures from late June, there are not many substantial differences since. But there are some key areas of progress.

Here is the new brick. The old brick was out of budget and so we went with a king size (larger) brick that is from Oklahoma. The brick is called commercial antique.

One area of progress during July was the debris pile Here you can see a before and after picture. A small local company stopped in and in about 24 hours cleared a huge portion of the pile.

These are the two main AC units for the house. Lots of duct work.

This is looking up at the ceiling of the kitchen.
