Stucco wrap, insulation and drywall…Oh My!

We are seeing some real progress on the new house now. This is what we found when we returned after the holidays.

There was a lot of activity when we arrived back at the new house. Yay! The house has been wrapped in tar paper and chicken wire in preparation for stucco.
Our linear fireplace has been installed.
Then the insulation crew showed up. First step was to mask off all the items you don’t want spray foam insulation to get on…like the fireplace and windows.
We have garage doors too! The garage doors are also masked off. All the 55 gallon drums with the insulation material are staged in the car garage.
Drywall was put up between the living area and the garages so the wall could be insulated on the garage side.
The RV garage has been totally insulated now. On the left, you can see where the crew started shaving off the insulation that protruded beyond the studs.
The bathtub was removed from the bathroom so those walls could be insulated. Here the tub in the guest bedroom…temporarily. These walls have also been insulated.
Then where we weren’t looking, our solar controller appeared. Yay!

So, that is where things stand. The insulating should conclude in a few days. Next week the drywall will be installed, which should take two to three weeks. I don’t envy the crew that has to drywall the RV garage!
