Intro:
As I write this, I took these pictures about 3 months ago. I was not aware that anyone was paying much attention, but was pleased to note that some folks do enjoy these.
I hope I can remember what I was looking at when I snapped these. I had some problems with this batch too. I believe I lost a disk or two (not readable when I got it home).
Of note in this round:
- Interior finish.
- Several pictures from inside Shirley's show how the interior finish is going to come out. She has plaster and trim!
The Pics:
| This is looking out the basement window from our house. Gary has done a beautiful job all around the site with these window wells. |
|
| Our basement all ready to have the floor poured. There is an inch or two of foam under the vapor barrier. |
|
| There was a remarkable array of bits and pieces of PVC fittings laid out on our living room floor. The display extends off beyond the camera's range. |
|
| The framing for the front deck. |
|
| The construction on Marilyn and Hoppy's has almost caught up. There is a Clivus in their backyard (hope it fits down the bulkhead). |
|
|
We now venture into Shirley's house for an extended
tour. First we visit her living room. |
|
| Shirley's dining room. Check out the hardwood floor and stair railing. |
|
| Shirley's bathtub. No tile yet. |
|
| Shirley's hot water heater and expansion tank (it doesn't get more exciting than this folks..). |
|
| Shirley's shower. |
|
|
Shirley's bedroom. This now completes our tour of Shirley's. |
|
| Randy and Philippe's living room. |
|
| All the electrical boxes on exterior walls are equipped with gaskets around the outer edge and inside where the wires pierce the box. Using cellulose insulation greatly reduces the need for a tight vapor barrier, but I was impressed. |
|
| The more interesting details of this picture are too dark, but notice that there is a rubber gasket (the black band) attached to the wall around the window opening. This will "seal" against the sheetrock when it is put up on the wall. |
|
| I really like the exposed framing inside the porch roof. The beams were cut from the pitch pines we had to clear from the property. This picture is of Randy and Philippe's. |
|
| This is a shot down the back side of Randy and Philippe's living room. There is a vapor barrier gasket around the opening to the cellar stairs (cellar is clearly considered to be "outside" in someone's thinking). You can also note that the walls of the bathroom are loaded up with insulation. |
