Front porch ledger

The ledger is attached!

Front Ledger

This weekend consisted of waterproofing and putting up some of the ledger for the front porch. There was a planter in this area before that was oddly connect to the basement.  We're reconfiguring it to be a porch.  The area should not get wet, but even if it does it should be okay the way thing are setup now, and the basement should stay much drier.

We ordered 2 - 16' 2" X 10" for the ledger. Redwood Lumber delivered 2 - 20' 2" X 12" boards, and only charged us for what we ordered.  The boards they substituted are heaver, but it should not be a problem for us.  They've been great to work with!

Floor insulation

Today was about floor insulation. Eventually we will be fine with insulation. It was surprising how quickly we went through what seemed like a huge amount of insulation. There are only two bags left and we will need to order more.

Oh My December is Here

It is December. The garage door is up and seals up the house much tighter than the plywood that used to be there. Also it helps a lot with the curb appeal. Insulation is moving along nicely. We cleared out an area where the ceiling will need to be insulated to facilitate insulation installation. Things keep moving forward.
