The siding was mostly completed last week with the back and side completed, which is about 75% of all the siding work to be completed. What remains is the front walls, which will be completed after the sheetrock product is brought in through the front window space. The window will be removed to get the product inside, so siding that wall will be done last.
In other exciting news, the HVAC is finally getting installed! What was originally scheduled for July 5 got started 8 days behind schedule. Friday's completed work included installing 5 new vents and assembly of the coil and blower units on the platform built for it. Unfortunately, one vent is in the wrong place and one duct travels right next to a recessed light, so I'll be sticking around Monday morning to chat it up with them. Also, I'd really like to have the blower unit in a different place which is more accessible. We do have to change the filter periodically, so having the unit in the attic space is already a bit of a pain.
All of the electrical fixtures, outlets, and switches are wired up, and the last few small studs are finished. The storage room wall is sheeted in plywood now, too, so we can hang anything pretty much anywere without having to use drywall anchors.
This week should see a lot more activity again, as the HVAC should be done by Tuesday, electrical cover inspection on Monday afternoon, framing inspection Tuesday afternoon, gutters on Tuesday or Wednesday, insulation on Thursday, insulation inspection on Thursday afternoon, and sheetrock install starts Friday. The construction schedule page is kept pretty well updated.
