Mike and I are getting ready for the sheetrock crew. He needs to get any extra studs installed and finish up the electrical. While Mike works on that I will insulate all the walls and the ceiling:). I am a strange one but I really like that job.
The wiring that Mike has to finish. Once he gets that done I will install the insulation:)
Mike adding more wood to nail the drywall to:
From underneath:
I'm working my way around the building. Here I am adding insulation behind the electric wires:
The walls are done:
Mike got the shower base in place:
Mike nailing the bathroom wall studs to the back wall:
Mike has the bathroom wall up, the electric wires and switch box in place:
Now that the walls are done I need to do the ceiling. Mike came over to help me but I figured out a way of dong it myself so he can work on things I can't do. It is a little awkward:
But I got it:) Here I am stapling the paper from the insulation into the trusses. Mike watched a TV show and told me how to do it differently. Years ago we used to staple the paper to the bottom of the truss which caused problems for the drywall crew. Now I push the insulation a little higher and staple it to the sides above where the ceiling will be installed. No staples are on the bottom of the trusses:
I use ladders to hold the insulation in place and walk the one end up to start stapling. I did lose the strip of insulation a few times but for the most part it works well:
Slow and steady:
Mike getting all of the electric wires down from the ceiling and into the breaker box:
Ooh....I'm getting closer:
Cutting the insulation to fit:
Up on one ladder while the second ladder holds the other end in place:
Reaching over to staple the middle and then the other end:
I can't do the ceilings in the utility room and bathroom until Mike finishes with the lights. We also need to order more insulation for me to finish the walls. It is has been a good couple of days.
That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this story and I will write again soon:)
