Today was just one of those days where nothing on our must-do list got crossed off. We had a late start because of a few hiccups with the electrician who didn't have the right diameter of recessed lighting and drywalling a ceiling really sucks!
What did we do?
All of my center load bearing boxes for the coffered ceiling are done! Only 14 T's and corners left!
My dad and I also tackled some of the drywall for the ceiling. It took all of three minutes for me to utter my first curse word of the day. Drywall really sucks! The darn things are super heavy and its not easy screwing them into unleveled 71year old floor joists!
While trying to recover from total muscle failure, I tackled the insulation on the exterior walls. One of our goals for the renovation is to make the house more energy efficient. Our walls are not framed by 2X4s so I had to find an alternative to the traditional thicker pink stuff while keeping within our budget. We're using this super thin product called Reflectix that not only acts as insulation— has an R value of 14—but as a moisture barrier as well.
