Home Update : 2025-Nov-16

Today was the first snowfall of the season. By early afternoon it had shifted to rain.

The contractor (Adam’s Yard Maintenance) had finished the house wrap and soffits by the end of last week. They will be back this week to start with the siding.

On the inside, I’ve been preparing the ceiling for the installation of blow-in insulation on November 24.

Scheduled for this week:

  • Gypsum board delivery (Monday)
  • Stove and chimney installation by Classic Stoves and Fireplaces (Friday)

Home Update : 2025-Oct-29

The windows and doors of the house are in!

I purchased a portable power station and charged it up with one of the solar panels today. It will be a source of power as I spend more time in the house. The solar power system will not be set up until I’ve prepared the ceiling for blow-in insulation contractor.

The building contractors return next week to install the soffits and hopefully get started with the siding, which was delivered today.
