It has been nearly a month since my last post and it has been a productive month. Before the roof was completed the brick layers began their work. They have worked consistently for about 3 weeks and are nearly finished. The roofers took only 2 days to paper and shingle our roof. There are a couple of small sections that they will need to return and finish. At the same time our Plumber (Raymond Hymer), Electrician (Coy Allen), and HVAC (HVAC Services) all began their rough in. The plumber was the first one done. It took them about 8 work days to complete rough in and pass inspection. The Electrician was the 2nd one finished with a time of about 11 work days. And HVAC services was last to complete their rough in/inspection with a total time of about 2 weeks. Our insulation has now been installed. I decided to go with a product called NuWool. It is a blown cellulose product which forms a good seal and has a better R value then traditional batted insulation. The guy who operates the local franchise is Adam Scales and he has been very easy to work with. My best quote for batted insulation was around $5500. After some negotiation Adam agreed to insulate my house for $7,200. Foam insulation would have cost me around $10,000. This was a very hard decision for me but one that I hope I wont regret. Tomorrow, begins the sheet rock and we are hoping to get our garage poured this Friday.
