Our house in the woods build

Basement slab fine here - but I'm not in ME either - those folks are weird sometimes

 

Yup - After 40+ years in IT, I know what you mean. I enjoyed what I did , but at times grrrrr.

 

Looking good. I like the wraparound porch!

I think I got the right place

 

I must have just missed you. I was hanging out there till about 2.

 

I was there at 3.

Ships in the night.

 

Power is on, so I finally got a taste of the well water, tasted fine, clear and cold. Sent out for some water tests today.



Plumbing is all hooked up so we can start painting inside, now that we have a way to clean up and I've got to do a backsplash in the kitchen.

Porch is happening.


Framing out walls against the foundation, spaced out a little from the wall so the spray foam can get in behind the stud so there is no thermal break. We are spray foaming the sill as well.

 

I did have the right place!

I did.... I did!!

 

You have the whole crew there, .Leroy said hes been working on the porch and some other stuff. Shouldn't be long now and it will be wrapped up and just finish the inside.

 

Gotta take your wins anywhere you can find them

 

Wow, the place is looking AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

 

Love the porch!

 

That isn't so easy. Need the right crew or it takes forever. My son and his wife did ours with some additional hired hands for somethings. Moved right along. Had some interruptions with changes here and there. Son is professional. Ceilings and walls with no visible seams even after two years. My budget blew up some with the kitchen and bath. I wanted really durable cabinets with good wood and finish. Found a place in NH that gave fair prices. They construct them there and deliver them to you. Your carpenter hangs them.

 

I'd like to know about this cabinet place. We are generally very happy with the quality and construction of the house so far except for the cabinets. They seem like quality construction but their appearance is not what we remembered from the sample. The stain on a couple is terrible, blotchy/spongy, we are having the factory replace those. We are going to live with them for now, but if I know my wife, they won't be around long, or we will end up painting them.

 

Give me a little time to hunt for the receipt. I kept most of them so it might be in my basket. We bought a almond white cabinets.

 

So the chimney is in and I've got some questions, maybe someone around here can help.

Class A from the ceiling of the basement inside a 2' x2' chase.

Here's the connector hanging down in the basement.


Looking up where it passes through to the first floor. Notice the gap between the plywood and the square piece that surrounds the pipe?...how do I seal this? Spray foam? Caulk?


Looking down from the first floor, I'd like to insulate here, what do I use and can I put the insulation right against the square piece?



Here is looking down from the attic. I need to seal this off also...cut a piece of plywood to fill the space?...can the plywood touch the metal? how do I seal it and insulate it?

 

Roxol insulation will work for what your are doing

 

So. When are you moving in?

 

Have you moved in yet? or are you still in the process of moving?
