WE HAVE HEAT!! Dave and Mike, from Top-Hat HVAC, got the furnace working about 2 PM. It was running like crazy when I left. I set the temp thermostat down to 50, which will hopefully turn the furnace off at some point.
The drywallers were back again. They started on the walls and were pretty well along when I left. They are coming back Saturday to finish up. Taping begins Tuesday. I think clean up is schduled for Monday.
The insulation was also done in the attic. Blown in 18" deep. Not cellulos, so we are pretty much weather tight. Only exception is the basement windows and the one kitchen window. Hopefully they'll both be in this coming week.
33165
Master Bedroom/part of the bath.
33166
From the hall looking toward the kitchen.
33167
My humble attempt at stair making.
33168
More of the basement with the stairs.
I got my stairs in place. I still have to cut the treads and get them on. I'm going to try to get them done Saturday.
I have a renewed admiration for Richard Wolf and the beautiful work he does on his stair cases. I had enough problems with this wee little bitty one, much less tackling one of the proportion he makes.
Friday was working day 38 since Schluter's began by tearing the old house down. Mid April is still looking good for moving in. :)
Thanks for looking. More next week.
