The exterior insulation is complete now everywhere except the east ((front!) of the house and a little on the north. Even more exciting though, is that there is insulation on the inside walls of the addition now! And this insulation, plumbing rough ins and electrical are all done and passed inspection in the addition. That means the dry wallers can come later this week, and then the rooms will really start to look like rooms.
We have been taken by surprise, a bit, by the amount of time it takes to make decisions and get things ordered - especially for the bathroom! Vanity, cupboard, tiles, tub, faucets, toilet - it all takes time to find what you like, weigh some pro's and con's, look around at pricing and availability... We have pretty much always just lived with whatever was already in a house (unless it broke and needed to be replaced), so I have new respect for any owner who made a decision before us - whether I actually like what they chose or not!!!
