Thrivent Builds

Roofing became the priority as this day and the week went on. If we don’t get this roof shingled, we will not pass our rough framing inspection this week – even if all rough trades pass theirs. So push, push, push hard by Andy today for anyone and everyone willing to get on the roof and get the shingles on. The rain seemed imminent but somehow held out until the evening so work continued all day. Drywall nailers were added where needed, interior “blocking” was installed where needed (where cabinets will be hung – very hard to hit 2×4’s perfectly when hanging cabinets, much easier with a nice big 2×6 or 2×8 to nail to between the studs.) Blue Dow insulation board is nearly complete with seams all sealed. Caulking, caulking and more caulking has also been done this week in order to seal all cracks to the exterior. We will call for our pre-drywall Energy Star inspection to know if anything has to be corrected before hanging drywall next Thursday. All is continuing to go well. Thanks everyone! Oh ya, before I forget, thanks to Zion Lutheran in Chelsea for a great lunch today. Everyone is always so grateful for the nourishment and refreshment.
