Yes, you heard right. We are geared up for some major action. All the insulation and vapor barrier was dropped off today. They may start insulating as early as tomorrow, but Monday at the latest. They say they will be done insulation by the end of Tuesday. The insulators have been coordinating with the drywallers and it sounds like we might get drywall starting Tuesday morning. Even though you need to pass an insulation inspection. Our inspector knows the insulation guy well and trusts his work, so he sometimes will give a verbal ok, based on some photos to allow drywall to proceed.
It seemed like we went from a standstill for so long, to everything happening at once. The good news is that if the drywallers start next Tuesday they had indicated it would take about a week to get all the drywall up and then 2-3 weeks to complete mudding and taping. So 4 weeks sounds like the longest we should expect it to take and that lands us right at Christmas Day. Having our house all drywalled would be a great Christmas present for us, that’s for sure.
Meanwhile Aron and I are trying to get the pump house done. All the insulation is in place, we are working on the vapor barrier. Won’t be too long before we can start setting up all the pumps and tanks and test out our water system.
I’ll provide some photos in a few days to show how things are progressing.
