Day 3 Construction

I'm finally getting around to posting last week's progress of the construction. The guys started Day 1 on Tuesday, Day 2 on Wednesday, and Day 3 on Thursday. 

Thursday was spent putting new masonite on the one side of the new closet, finished the roof work - add the soffeting (sp?) and some other stuff I have no clue about!

The electrical/plumbing guy came back to finish getting the heat run to the closet. He got that all run and moved the dryer vent to go out the south wall of the house since it was previously going out the west wall which is now our closet. He just needs to get some different material for the tubing from the dryer to the vent so it doesn't get too kinked and cause a build-up of lint. We have been without a washer/dryer since last Tuesday pretty much! Ahhhh!

They spent some time inside the closet getting the insulation put in and plastic over the insulation. Because of Friday's nice weather, they spent that time finishing up another project so we were without any commotion on Friday! 

Today, Monday, they are working a full day with all the men they have getting everything finished. They are hoping today is last day for them! Wow!

The next steps once they finish will be having the drywall guy come and mud/sand the sheet-rock. We have the carpet guys coming on Wednesday morning to lay carpet in the new walk-in closet and then the spare bedroom and that closet. We will keep the carpet in our master bedroom since it is still in great condition.

Sometime in there, Mike and I will paint the walls and ceiling in the walk-in closet. At some point we'll paint the side of the house that has the new siding so it will match. Once the painting in the closet is done, Doug will come back to finish putting in the woodwork and door and frame and then we are all set! Whew!

Enjoy the photos!

Here you can easily see the addition - we will paint the new siding to
match the existing and then also the transition board down the middle.

They did not get around to siding the west side of the closet yet.

All insulation is in and covered!

  1. It is looking good! I know you will be excited when it is all finished. Thanks again for doing the invites for Charles' 1st birthday for me. I'm already getting compliments.
