Another day, and more progress. Greg showed up to continue the siding and now we have the east side done. He also worked on the soffit in the front, but ran out of something, so there is some soffit to be finished. Of course the front can't be done yet as the grade has to come up about almost 2 feet.
The insulation guys showed up while I was out running errands and finished up just about 3 PM. Just before they left the drywall truck pulled in. Now there is drywall stacked all over the place.
The inspector came by right after the drywall loaders left and inspected the insulation job. PASSED. So now we are clear until final inspection.
The electric company will be setting the gas meter bracket tomorrow morning, so the HVAC guys will be in to run all the gas lines. Dave, from Top-Hat heating, figures he can get all the piping done tomorrow and we should be able to get a gas meter installed Friday. That will allow the furnace to be fired up. Need that for the taping and mudding next week.
Oh yeah, the drywall guys will be there in the morning and start hanging the rock. They are going to start on the ceiling so the insulators can come back Friday and do the attic.

East wall siding. The deck is going here.
33016
Some of the drywall and the insulation in and covered. Even the ceiling has plastic.
33018
More insulation and drywall.
One thing I didn't know was drywall comes in 14' and 16' lengths. I knew it came in 12' but 14' was a new one.
Pictures are getting harder inside. I may have to go buy a wider angle lens. Mine is only 28mm. Maybe I should get a fish eye lens.
More tomorrow I'm sure. Thanks.
