Keeping Warm

The house evolves, gradually into something resembling a home. But to keep warm, the building crew need to keep a number of propane burners going most of the day.

On the floor are the ducting frames for heating and a/c.
There are so many choices at this stage... wall/ceiling colours; handles; positioning of electrical supplies; flooring and so on. But hopefully we are ahead and can make progress.

Even though there is nearly three feet of snow on the ground, our home continues to take shape...the men building and working on a near-daily basis, including New Year's Day!!!...are amazing us by the hour.

While the things taking place presently are less obviously dramatic to the casual eye, we are astonished! The electrician and plumber are getting their work ready for inspection so the internal drywalling can commence at the weekend. 

These walls can only go up when the insulation is sprayed into the roof and the walls....here is the clean-up before that event....this is the wall of our Master Bedroom...

And here is what things looked like yesterday at dusk, looking from Nicholas' studio through to our bedroom!

This is a single-cell, poly-foam, insulation that is blown into the walls, adding structural integrity as well as breathable insulation for heat and cold...amazing. After it hardens, the crew goes around each surface trimming it, that is the debris on the floor in this photo. Probably about three days of this and then, if the electrics are completed, the walls and ceilings will come. 

What a privilege this is, this gift of bearing witness to the unfolding of our home. We are immensely grateful for the skills and gifts of all those working to make it a reality.
