Well, it's been below zero in Minnesota for the past several days. In fact, the crew was happy on Friday to not be outside working as earlier in the week they braved the elements by working to install the James Hardie plank on the river side of the house while stoking a fire to stay warm.
We hope that this coming week, it will get back into the teens so they continue with outside work.
A successful week in terms of passing mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspections are receiving the go ahead to start insulation. So, on Friday, they started by placing insulated panels in the roof/lid of the living, dining and kitchen area and put up plastic in the upstairs of the house. The spray foamers for the "closed cell" insulation will start on either Monday or Tuesday, January 21st or 22nd. Sheetrock is scheduled to be delivered on Thursday, January 24th and they plan to start hanging the drywall on Friday, January 25th.
Rather than just pictures of the house, I thought I would include pictures of the Trumpeter Swans as they were out today on the river while I was outside taking pictures.
