Big things are happening at the house! We are almost to finish work. In March we got drywall and siding!
After the subs finished heating, electricity and plumbing, we readied our house for drywall and siding. There were a few more odds and ends to do to pass our Energy Star inspection and USDA inspection and we did! First the insulation subs came and blew in insulation on our exterior walls. Our supervisor gave us some extra for a few interior walls to help with sound.
The drywall subs hung all the drywall in one day. The transformation was unbelievable! It looks like a completely different house. Next subs will do the mudding and taping, and then we will do all of the finish work. We are working on choosing lighting, trim and designing our closets!
We also got a garage door and locks! Our house needs to be locked and heated now that we have drywall. I love the garage door we chose! We also put in our posts on our porch. We chose stained wood posts, which we'll stain darker later. I love them!
This past week, we got siding. I was a little worried with our color choices, since we changed the porch siding to white last minute to brighten our house up. It turned out perfect! It's the perfect mix of contrast. We also didn't get to see the brown siding we chose in person until it was on our house! No one else in our program has it. I was so excited when I saw it, it looks so good.
It's finally starting to feel like our house is coming together! I'm so excited to move in. Next up is finish work and our rock!
