In my previous posts, I had pictures and talked about how the insulation under the roof and in the exterior walls was closed cell spray foam. Well, they have finished with all that work and now the team is adding rockwool insulation to the interior walls, where we want sound isolation, and under the floors. Here is all the rockwool waiting to be installed (Daphne for scale).
And here is rockwool installed in the wall between the guest bedroom and the family room (second floor).
And here is the backside of that same wall, where you can also see the closed cell spray foam in the exterior wall.
Here is the team installing the rockwool in the front bedroom (second floor).
The basement walls are insulated with a rigid panel product (Thermax), and that work has now finished. The ceiling of the basement will be insulated with rockwool after the rest of the house is done. We decided to leave the walls shiny and not paint them since it reflects light and makes the basement brighter.
On the outside, they have been putting up small pieces of wood product on which the gutters will be mounted. Here is a section from the garage roof.
This week, we discussed the product that will be used for the deck railing, and also the railing in the porch. Here is a sample modeled by our architect. That little wire sticking out halfway down is a sample of the wire that goes between the posts and comprises the majority of the railing.
We also talked about installing screens to hide the condensers that make up the HVAC system. Next week Daphne, the architect and builder will use plywood panels to decide where to put screens.
Things remain on the new schedule for now, but past behavior is no guarantee of future performance.
Current estimated occupancy date: July 31, 2026 (no change).
