Exterior almost complete


Checklist:
Roofing - done
Siding - done
Painting - almost done
Deck - almost done

Now its almost time to move indoors.  The HVAC contractor is scheduled to start roughing in the refrigeration lines to the heat pump but needs the electrician to run some wires.  It seems that the electrician had a small problem with this HVAC guy in the past so now there seems to be a bit of a conflict on the job.  The electrician wants something in writing from the HVAC guy as to what he is suppose to do.  Come on now kids, play nice.  No fighting, share your toys.

If everyone cooperates we could get the framing, electrical and mechanical inspection this week and then get started on insulation.  I have decided to let an insulation contractor spray foam in the roof and under the house and I will put in the fiberglass wall insulation.  No problem, I used to have a ceiling business so have done tons of insulation work in years past.  It's not a pleasant job but two days of work and it will be done.

Here is a sample of the maze of pipes that will be one day hidden from view.  I thought it might be a good idea to take pictures, just so I know whats hidden away in my house.
The electrical wiring looks like spaghetti running every which way and all converging in this box.

The gas guy is suppose to come run the gas line to the stove this week also.  His name is Plato.

  1. Hee Hee Hee. You are totally on schedule. I think you timed the creation of this house really well. Good job. I am also getting a kick out of the humanity of all the people working on this house. But of course. There has to be some friction- otherwise it just wouldn't make any sense... And just think of the players- Hugo, Plato- you have some powerful entities up in that pad. Keep gittin it, and have a great thanksgiving.

  2. What a beautiful house! The colors of the siding, deck, railings, and trims harmonized together beautifully. Did you use metal sheets for your roofing? That’s probably the best choice. It can save you money from using your HVAC system frequently. I love your little house!
