Ready for Insulation

Well,  just scheduled the foam insulation for monday, and I have a little to do to get ready. Just a small punch list and I can take a break for a few days while the foam is completed. The last few weeks have not been kind to the schedule with black friday and an exudus of employees from the store coming at a bad time. I always have to pick up the slack at these times, and the store is the most important. I have worked many days in a row with only Thanksgiving off, does'nt bother me except I'm too scattered. But, the sheetrock will come after the foam and things will take off again. The ext. siding is complete, with the exception of the crawl space, and it looks great. The rough in electric is complete and the bill was presented to me. OUCH! By far the most over budget item, I have been dead-on with all my quotes, and this bill was almost double what they said it would be. Really upsets me, and I will deal with electricians differantly from now on. I will never be taken by surprise like that again, and I don't understand why the electric rough-in would be as much as the entire HVAC system and the rough-in plumbing costs together.  Oh well, it is what it is.  This is kinda the turning point of the project, it's a big deal to have insulation and sheetrock complete, and the focus turns to the interior projects. We also will have heat, and that will make everything easier, and I will be able to work late.  Well, everyione have an awesome day. SYOTMS hopefully. RJ
