Week 61, 62, 63: Interior Insulation & a few deliveries
The last few weeks were filled with finishing off loose ends, media wiring, electricals, plumbing rough in. Finally interior insulation was done last week in the ceilings and walls. We used R30 for the ceiling since we have that rigid foam under the EPDM roof. R19 in the walls. Since the house is a double wall, there is more than enough insulation to keep out the elements. Our radiant flooring is on at 65 degrees, it's very warm. I remember we were skeptical at first about using radiant flooring as the only heat source, but now we realize how powerful the heating is. The best part is that you don't feel any force air circulating around causing dry air.
Our 5.8 Kw system is still not yet finished. When they showed up, they realized the ballast system needs adjustment. Another delay.
Adam put up the curtain tracks this past week, it looks great!
Next week is the drywall...we can almost feel the completion coming. Starting to purchase more furnishings and housewares. Can't wait!!
We had a few deliveries this past week. Master bathroom tiles from Porcelanosa, they are great. The custom 12 foot container that our forwarder had his friend help cut down from a standard 20 foot container. The quality was poor, note to self, don't hire chinese people to do construction related work.
