A fair bit of activity last week. Two loads of firewood was delivered and then stacked.

Throughout the early part of the week I continued closing in the ceiling cavity for the blow-in of insulation. The outer layer of wall insulation was finalized throughout the structure and the inner layer was placed on the upper portion of the gable end walls.

Wednesday evening I set up the scaffolding for the insulation installers. They arrived Thursday afternoon and after a couple hours had completed the job. I should have about R60 in the ceiling.

Before dismantling the scaffolding, I opened the windows to help clear the air. Once everything was cleared away, a fire was started and two hours later it was ~20° throughout the space.

On Friday I moved my futon over and have been sleeping there since.

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)
