August 24,25th spray foam weekend


Ben caught Hank being talkative. Such a coonhound....


Flu epidemic? Or maybe spray foam has arrived. Yeah go with the foam. This was the first of what now is probably going to be 3 sets of foam tanks. Whew tough work, people who do this for a living earn their pay.


This is a the before picture, forgot to take an after. Will try to get another set of tanks up to finish the upstairs areas. Keyword is dropclothes, lots of dropclothes.

Weather was great, what a stellar summer!!!! We also installed 5 more pieces of siding and worked on the brick mold for another window. It is expected we will bring up at least 10 pieces for Labor day, more if we wait on the foam. Want to also install flooring in hallway and kitchen. Probably need 20 pieces to finsh the north wall, south wall and begin the front wall. Will need to work on soffits before too long.

August 11-12 more siding...


Sunday we got most of the corner done. Took 2 tries since we goofed up the alignment on the wall. Friday was a rainy day, supposedly the area got 5 to 7 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. We worked on window trim Saturday and ran 1 row on the north wall. Still have 5 pieces of siding left over from the weekend. It is enough to finish the southern side we started or run 2 more runs on the north wall. Probably need 20 more pieces to finish the project for the year. I was looking at siding the front piece above the porch roof so maybe will need some for that as well. Really want to paint the siding before fall hits. And insulate. And run electric. And finsih floors. And.And. And.



Really need to fix my checklist for shutdown. Seems I cannot remember if I locked the door. Grrrrr.
