First Home Insulation/Windows

Up at our first home things have been moving right along since the last blog entry. Exterior insulation has been affixed, and all doors and windows (aside from front entrance door) have been installed. The electricians are also on the scene installing boxes and running wires. And, the roofers came out and applied the waterproof coating to the roof.
The lead carpenter on the job, Takada-san, makes a brief appearance as he works on the framing that will hold the actual floor that will be walked on, which ends up being above the concrete foundation. This style doesn`t make a whole lot of sense to me other than keeping the plumbing and electrical out of the concrete foundation. In the shot of the family room, you will see a pile of plastic tubing that kind of looks like a giant worm. The worm actually unravels across the whole floor and keeps the concrete and wood dry as the house is sided and roofed.
Drywall will be delivered to the jobs site tomorrow, and I promised the carpenters I would help them stock it in the various rooms. Uh oh, here comes that sore back again. I`d better go make my appointment with Abe-san (the local chiropractor) now!
I received requests to mix up the music a bit, so I went with a deep roots reggae vibe for this bit. I`m always open to requests, and if I don`t have something, I`m sure I can find it.
