Wrapping The House

We saw the bones of the house going up last week, and now we can get a look at the covering layers going over that.

Insulation is put into all the exterior walls and between the ceiling of the first floor and floor of the second.

This will not only help keep the home an even temperature, but it creates a noise barrier for upstairs traffic--especially when the grand kids are visiting!

Then, the exterior is covered with the sheets of wood. A moisture barrier wraps the entire exterior, then the Hardie Board siding is nailed in place. This is a cement fiber product that creates a very durable and easy to maintain home exterior.

And the stately windows and doors are all in place.

The Sheetrock is being delivered for the interior, so we'll be able to watch the fun details starting to happen now.

This house is really taking shape!
