...or at least that is what it looks like when you walk into the house these days. We are actually making really good progress, but it looks like hell.
Here's a shot from yesterday looking through the kitchen into the dining/family room. The sheet rock and old paneling is off the studs in many areas, and there are holes in the ceiling. BUT, the plumbing and electrical are roughed in. Electrical fixtures should be installed in the next couple days, and an inspection will follow shortly. Likewise with plumbing. Once we're past the inspections, we can get the walls sealed up and move on to things like floors, millwork, tile, trim, and paint. Seems like a lot, but we're really getting close...
We've re-wired the whole house (thus all the holes and torn out sheet rock), and re-plumbed the wet areas. We're ready to rock. Aside from the peach of mind that comes from knowing that we will have a safe and solid electrical system, one advantage of tearing things up is that it is giving us the opportunity to re-insulate! Looks like we will be using Bonded Logic's UltraTouch which is a green product made from recycled cotton denim (as in blue jeans). We'll be doing the interior walls too, as it provides a reasonable level of acoustical insulation as well.
Now if I could just find the time to blog!
