Insulation

Started to install R19 in walls. We woke up & wow the cold came in the night. We could see our breath in morning. So I decided to move my attention to insulation. I will leave all bays that need plumbing or electrical or any other framing needs. I will try to get in as much as I can. Wow after three days all I could fill in was done. Big difference it is now just chilly in the mornings when we wake up.

As I get more in it is getting better. The cold nights are not so cold.

 Still have a log way to go but moving along.

Working my way around the house. Ladder & stapler in hand.

 Garage is finialy done.

 Cleaning up mess.

Bedroom & living area.

Living room & bedroom. 

Framing exterior walls

 As I said in the past I am no carpenter so I sharpened my pencil got out saw,tape measure, level & here we go.

It looks simple enough but going up & down a 10 ft ladder with a nail gun. I have more respect for a professional carpenter.

Bathroom, Laundry, Walkin closet is framed & ready for flooring. Pluming, Electrical, Insulation is installed.

First the exterior walls 302 boards 2x6x12 ft-- 16" on center to fill in all walls. Started Friday night & by Sunday night we had walls. But still have all the doors & windows to go. They are not so simple have to make allot of cuts.

The move to house

 The move is always a chore but this time it was worth it.

Set up pick nick table as temp dinner table. all in all we thank the good lord for all that we have as with out his help we would still be living in a tent.

I had hoped not to till we had all interior framing & at least plumbing, electrical done but things don't always work out as planned. Time is running by fast have not posted do to all the things needed to be don't to survive the up & coming winter. Little things like toilet,shower, you get where I am going.It alittle like in door camping but with out the sleeping bag.
