Drywall and Insulation

We are concentrating on drywall (and insulation) as that is the main thing holding up other progress.  And it is cold outside so indoor work is the priority of the winter.

A lot of the interior wall areas have been glued and screwed.  And we are working on the ceiling of the first floor. We need to make progress with pocket doors, which includes getting a hammer drill and tapcon fasteners AND the 36" doors, at least 4 of the 5 doors, and then we can continue the drywall over those areas.  And Sunday, we will be fishing some more wires, and perhaps, if it is warm enough, caulking around windows, doors and electrical boxes/wires in the exterior walls.

It was 55 degrees in the house when I went out there (around 9 am) - 18 degrees was about the low outside this morning.  The exterior walls are not insulated yet.  We are working on the South wall insulation.

We are enjoying the process.  And still married - happily.  At this point, we know Christmas 2014 is no longer realistic as a possibility of moving in. So we are hoping for the spring 2015.
