It's that time of the year...summer and I (Scott) will be living in Durham for the next 10 weeks posting weekly updates to the blog to keep you up in the latest information with construction of our beautiful home.
Last week was my first week and it began with a visit from our sponsor, The Home Depot. We gave a tour of the home and brainstormed ways to strengthen our relationship. I think a really great thing that you should be aware of is their launching of the campain: Eco Options. They're really trying to make home owners aware of ways to save the environment and some money by investing in "eco" rated products. We also met with representatives from Philips and the home controls company, Life-Ware. I'll give you updates on what that might pan out to be in the upcoming weeks.
If you're wondering what the house looks like at this very moment, check out the Picasa account with pics of today's site visit. Newest changes are an actual staircase in the secondary stairwell and dry wall is installed on one side of each wall so that insulation (donated by Icynene) can be filled in and before new walls go up.
Today, was my first OAC meeting of the summer and here are some of the schedule updates:
- 1 side of the walls are up, spraying Icynene next week
- Footing for the deck will begin soon
- Siding installation of Cembonit will begin next week and should last roughly 3 weeks
- Green roof installation is complete
