Wednesday of Blitz Week (day 4)
Dow board, rear veiw of home
Dow board (insulation) west side view
Beginning of the day, just one wall started with Dow board
Yesterday trades people also began working alongside volunteers including plumbing, electrical and HVAC pro’s. They will work alongside volunteers this week and we even have volunteers assisting them whenever possible, in order to pass the rough mechanical inspections by Friday. These rough inspections must be passed before we can call for the framing inspection so framing must be done by the end of the week as well. This includes having the roof shingled so we can pass that rough framing inspection late Friday or Monday. This is necessary before we can have insulation blown in and call for that prior to drywall being hung next week. Everything is very tight but trades work looks really good so far and half of one side of the roof got shingled today (thanks to Andy’s son Brian, a professional with a roofing nailer) and a good start got done on the other side by volunteers. Windows and exterior insulation work continued as expected. Another great day! Seriously.
Many thanks to Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor for providing lunch today.
