Interior Progress

So we are now finally able to move forward with the interior since the dormer addition is now sitting on the granite columns.  I had such a nice clean interior - vacuumed the entire 2nd floor and then the foam guys came in!!!!  Imagine what it looks like now...
Master Bedroom ceilings and walls...

We opted to pay more for the foam then the fiberglass insulation for a number of reasons - the energy efficciency, the rebates from GA Power and the Feds, the sealing affect of the house overall, and simply because HOLMES on HGTV swears by it!! :)  Viola thinks I would have loved to have married Holmes because he loves construction as much as I do! 

The foam went in quickly - 2 days.  We foamed the entire roof line as well as all 2nd floor exterior walls.  The guest room addition that was done in 98 was poorly executed with no insulation in the walls.  So I even had the foam guys cut sheetrock in there and foam those walls so it is as sealed as the newly renovated part. We also had cold fee in the kitchen because the kitchen is over the garage so I had them cut the garage ceiling open, move the gas line into the ceiling joists (it was hanging down in our garage) and foamed it up.  We are totally sealed!!

Family Room where pipes came down from new bathroom..

 Guest room where we cut open existing walls to add insulation - now allof you guys can sleep comfortably when you visit!!

Viola's room ceilings and walls...

We also did ALOT of soundproofing in the interior walls.  We insulated them with fiberglass so Tilo can play his LOUD stereo and surround sound movie system he is installing..around bathroom walls, between bedrooms and stairwell walls.

How impressive is this stairwell?  And then with the new window at the best it will be so light!!

We are at the lake for a few days now -  I had to  come down from the week's events.  We will head back on Tuesday and will see how the sheetrock looks!  They shoudl be done and Hardwood floors will go in at teh end of the week.

I have to gear up to handle more exterior work.  We are demoing my brick walkway and creating a stone walkway to match the front porch with 2 sets of brick stairs.  I will again place all of the key colored stones and the existing salvaged brick pieces to get the look I am after...Give me strength....:)
