I'm behind in updating this blog again. It feels like we're moving at a snail's pace. This is when I need to "walk and not faint". In March we had our spray foam insulation done by Absolute Insulation out of Ada. It was rather expensive, but I believe it's going to be well worth it. We had all the underside of our roof sprayed about 5 inches thick. Absolute insulation uses open cell foam so if there's any leak in our roof in the future we would know about it, because the open cell allows water to come through the foam. Closed cell foam , which is more commonly used, does not allow water to penetrate so if you had a leak in your roof you wouldn't know about it, which could cause alot more damage to your roof. We can already tell a difference in the temperature in our house especially when you walk upstairs there's hardly any change in temperature, (as long as the windows are closed of course).
This is looking up toward the roof into the attic area. See the "clouds" of insulation.
Daria crawling on the walkway above our front entrance. Be careful Daria. Notice white insulation above her. In April, our sheetrock and tape, bed , and texture was done. I certainly enjoy meeting all our different subcontractors and their individual personalities. Getting to know these people is part of the journey in building this house. Each one brings their own unique skill to our construction site and leaves a part of themselves in our house. I feel very blessed by that.
Ronnie Stidham and his brother took about a week to hang sheetrock, then John Campbell and his crew from Coalgate did the tape , bed , and texture, which took almost 2 weeks because of the wet weather we kept having. They all did an excellent job.
Photo of front entryway and stairs after sheetrock. It's weird not to able to see through walls anymore.
Looking from kitchen area. See the start of tape and bedding.
We thought we could get away with not having to rent a dumpster, but the leftover sheetrock pieces proved to be to much for us to handle. But we had lots of little and big helpers to help us clean up. The kids loved breaking the sheetrock and throwing it into the dumpster.
