Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
It's been another long week of French teaching (I honestly don't know how I do it) but there have been a few big changes to the ole hole in the ground that are pretty exciting.
When we last left off, the electricians had finished wiring the house. The next step was to insulate, so insulate we did.
Insulation is an interesting process, because the pieces come basically designed to fit between 16" centres. If the framing is even a little bit off, it can make large headaches for the guys later on. The black lines you see in the back are actually sealant between pieces of vapour barrier and other openings (like doors and windows) to keep everything attached and well sealed.
After that, of course, is the drywall.
Once all this was put in, it really scales down the size of the house. It will open up again with lighting and paint, but before this everything seemed really open. Now, of course, you can actually see the rooms and partitions. It does mean, however, that now it's just fixtures, flooring and kitchen and this sucker is almost done!
Big news on the outside too. The bricklayers are finished, meaning that it's really starting to look like a house on the outside as well.
Everything is coming fast, but it's also pretty exciting.
Later days.
Alex and Linzi
