We are INTO Foam Here

Our last blog update showed the West Annex covered with EPS Foam (Expanded Polystyrene).  We now have the Southwall covered in EPS Foam.  
Besides foam on the outside, some interior work is still getting done.  The electrician showed up for one day this week and installed fans.  We are starting on the archways that will be at each end of the hall. And the only remaining wall (that needs completion) of the tunnel is also covered in foam.

Another group of workers experienced in EIFS came and this is what the house now looks like.



 As you can see, it is a work in progress.

Garage Senergy Final Coat and Interior (House) Wall Framing by Bill

We are very happy that the garage has the final outside finish applied.  We still need to paint trim and use sealant and put the insulating gasket around the garage door.

Bill did some framing of interior walls in the house so that the electricians and plumbers can use the space in those walls: for a light in the closet and switch to turn it on, and for incoming water and outlets for the washer and dryer.  The closet wall may look like it is wrong because it isn't attached to anything at one end.  However, there will be a wall there - that is where a pocket door will be.
