Day 18: Feb. 9, 2011

Cleaned up the south bedroom in preparation for drywall. I want to "finish" this room to test whether the methods of running electrical, ductwork, insulating, prepping the walls is being done efficiently. I won't finish the outside wall since it will receive blown-in insulation and I'll do the insulating all at once (or, more realistically, in two big steps).

While I was at it, I cleaned up the closet, too. You might remember this closet as being so large, and decorated in such a way that we wondered if it had been used as a nursery. I stuck my hands down between studs and found, much to my surprise, that there were no headers (diagonal 2-by-4's). In other words, the wall cavities extend from the second floor all the way to the first floor. This will make insulating easier.
