Snow!!

No real work done on the house latey, we've been too busy working on the Woodbury house.

We got about 3" of snow here yesterday.

House Painting

The weather was so nice outside yesterday that I decided to go out and work on finishing up the house painting. You may remember that I began painting the house back in May.

I got the right front side done and most of the left side.



I still have to finish the Porch, the back 2nd floor of the house, the left side kitchen, and the right side laundry room.

Putting up sheet rock in the guest bathroom

Wow! I went back and searched to see when the last post on the upstairs guest bathroom was and found that it was from November 2007!

I haven't done anything on the house in months as we've been out at the house in Woodbury most of the time. We're about to get a construction loan and will soon be going full tilt in the hopes of getting it livable by summer.

Anyways, we can't do anything more on Woodbury until we get the loan so I decided to do some work here.

Several months back I raised the ceiling joists up like I had done in the master bathroom, unfortunately I cant find the pictures of it.

Today I finally decided to get back in there and get the greenboard up. I was going to use the tongue & groove boards that I took down from the old second floor porch but in the end I decided against it and went with the green board.

First I put up insulation in the rafters on the sloped part of the roof and then put up the green board over that:

I can reach the flat part of the ceiling from the attic so I'll insulate that area later. Here is the completed ceiling:



Next I cut out and reframed the opening for the attic access:


The area's not very large but it will be nice to store small things and for access the plumbing and electrical.

After that I began insulating the walls and installing the green board over that:


That was as far as I got today, I'm going to need more insulation and a few more pieces of green board. Hopefully I can get this room completed soon...
