This weekend was a busy one. Insulation was scheduled for Monday so there were a lot of small tasks that needed to be completed before then.
Friday evening Ryan firred out the 2×4 by the porch door, then he demolished the ceiling in the closet so the light could be installed. After a short trip to home depot for a new semi-rigid vent for the bathroom fan Ryan proceeded to make a decorative block for the soffit (for the bathroom fan). I primed the mouldings we had on hand.
Here’s the block Ryan made:
Saturday we got an early start, we spent the morning installing mouldings – first the window of the bathroom got its moulding, then the porch door got its moulding. Aimee and Jason arrived just as I had installed the closet light.
Here’s the bathroom window with it’s moulding (and the soffit block is in):
And here’s a closeup of the moulding detail:
After another trip to home depot (needed drywall) and some lunch, Jason worked on plumbing (connecting the vents for the bathroom and running them up the exterior wall to the second story – they will later run to the attic and out the roof.
Here’s the plumbing:
Ryan installed the new semi-rigid vent for the fan and then made the extended sill for the double window and we got the drywall up covering the old door in the “gym”.
After dinner I rewired the bathroom vent/fan with a romex connector this time 🙂
Here’s the finished vent/fan:
Sunday after Aimee and Jason headed home we continued the projects, installing the first of 6 recessed lights so the wire could be run to it.
Then we ran the first ethernet/cable drop to the tv room from what will be the patch panel in the basement.
Finally we covered the tub and moved tools and everything out of the room – ready for insulation!
