Spray foam complete

Spray foam finished today in the evening.  Unfortunately this means 24 hours before I can do any work inside so that rules out Friday evening work.

Work continued on the rear deck. It is mostly finished at this point except for some guard rails and the steps portion, which should happen tomorrow.

Exterior trim materials were delivered today as well.

Spray foam and rear deck

Spray foam began today.  They are applying 1" on all exterior walls and along the rim joist (where the concrete meets wood).  Although it has some insulating value (R 6.5) this is primarily being done for air sealing purposes.  Much of the day today was prep work - they are pretty meticulous with covering all windows, switches,outlets, floors, objects, etc.  Now that that's all in place they should be able to finish up tomorrow by mid afternoon.

Unfortunately no work can be done during application and within 12-24 hours afterwards (due to the fumes) so I'll get a few days/evenings off.  But then it's full steam ahead through the weekend and Monday/Tuesday night in preparation for drywall on the 1st floor on Wednesday (I think).

Also the rear deck build began.  The majority of that should be completed sometime tomorrow.  That will be nice to have proper steps out of the back of the house (1st floor) again.  It is wide enough to put the grill on one side of the doorway and a pair of chairs on the other side
