The team was excited to work on the last items needed to get the house ‘dried in’ today. We were also sad knowing that 3 couples will be leaving Sullivan, since it’s the end of the Team 1 build. There is a week ‘off’ for volunteers, so that the contractors can get access to the house (roofing, electric, plumbing). We are taking a week off, but will be back for Team 2, starting on September 20th.
Joe and I were on the Interior Framing Crew today, working on quite a few of tasks. We finished up the insulation dam at the front porch return wall. It was a triangular piece that we had to cover, so it was a bit of a challenge.
We then anchored the refrigerator wall to a truss, to better secure that wall.
We then started to install drywall nailing blocks for the ceiling. These plates overhang the top of the wall, so that the drywall can be attached.
The rest of the team were busy on assorted projects around the house. A few folks were working to hang the drywall in the furnace room, so that the furnace can be installed by a contractor next week.
Others were working on installing the three remaining front windows.
Another productive day! The team ended a bit early this afternoon, to give the people leaving the build some time to get packed up and on the road. Joe and I also left for a week of traveling during the contractor week. We will be back in Sullivan ready to go. I hear drywall and exterior siding are the next big items on the list when we get back 🙂
I hope you tell us where you are going and send pictures!
Congratulations on your excellent work to date. Enjoy your short break. Remember tomorrow 9/11. Never forget the thousands who died. Freedom is not free
Enjoy your week off! Looking forward to continuing this adventure with you when you return.
As always. So cool!!
