Day 76 - Drywall Delivered

Today we came home a little early to find two massive trucks delivering a ton of drywall.  It's in every room of the house and they even brought it in through windows.  I've never seen such large long pieces of drywall.  One of the guys noticed me taking a picture and came over to say hi. 

Our FM also gave us news that the Cleveland City of Water approved the interior hard piping of the water line away from the door.

More materials.

Lots in the garage.

Never noticed this before.  Looks like cardboard on the roofline of the backside of the house only.

This is super long.

Day 75 - Insulation Inspection

Today was the insulation but it did not pass due to one area that was exposed to a cold air return (picture below).  I also noticed today that the light by the side door to the garage is not right (my FM noticed too and will get it fixed).  I also noticed that there was a piece of insulation missing from the garage.  Lastly there is a wire on the outside of the wall that I think is for the fireplace switch but it looks odd.

You can see that the insulation from the bathroom on the other side of this wall will be a problem with this area reserved as a cold air return,

New framing but didn't cut the hole.

socket is on the inside.

This area to the left of the garage side door does not have insulation.

Not sure why this wire is on the outside - will be a problem for drywall.

Day 74 - Insulation & Permanent Power

The whole house got insulation today including extra insulation around the bathrooms to make the wife happy.  Also I noticed that the permanent electric got hooked up today.  I told my electrician and he told me to call and have them remove the temp pole.  I'll do that sometime this week.  Tomorrow they are supposed to come out and inspect the insulation. 

Lastly I noticed some wet spots on the basement wall.  I think that the backfill around the house is just not sufficient and we had some heavy rain.  The final grade should fix this.

Day 73 - Inspection Passed & Blessings

Today we passed inspection to begin insulation.  Insulation should go all in tomorrow.  Jenn and I also went into the house tonight and wrote prayers and religious verses on the walls and floors.  Hopefully this will help bless our house and keep it and us safe.
