Month: December 2017

Steven had constructed a platform over the stairway so  we could insulate it and keep the cold from flowing up. He reinforced it so we could stand on it to sheet rock the ceiling and walls.

We continued on to the hallway and entrance to north bedroom.

We then completed the sheet rock in the north bedroom – the west street wall and the wall separating this bedroom and the middle room. We wanted to isolate this room so we would not have to heat it. It did make a difference!

We went back to the South Bedroom and completed the West street side.

While Steven was working elsewhere, I went around and installed the electrical boxes.

We continued along the north wall to the northeast corner and put sheet rock in the closet.

We are putting up sheetrock on walls that seem easiest for placement (the stud placement is not often placed for a 4′ sheet placement.

We had a time out for our work as I was in the hospital overnight – I am fine.

We are heating the room with a small portable heating. It is warm.

We have progressed to the third wall.

We have the 2″ insulation installed in almost all of the second floor. It is temporarily installed in the bathroom because we need to install venting and plumbing. We received permission to do our work non-linearly.

We started hanging sheetrock in the south bedroom. It was not as easy as we could have hoped. The polystyrene covering up the studs makes it a bit haphazard. It will be slow going.
