Since the last post there hasn't been a lot of big progress. Because we have another event we're hosting soon, I don't want to get anything big started quite yet. A few things have moved forward, though.
The insulation in the attic has received it's "ignition barrier". Most of the insulation will be covered by sheetrock which serves that purpose. However, the parts behind the attic knee-wall won't be directly covered by sheetrock. The alternative was an intumescent coating (a special thick paint) that serves that purpose instead. So the attic has now passed its insulation inspection.
Next up is the HVAC rough-in. As it turns out, we have a gas meter that's undersized considering all the gas appliances we have, let alone that we're adding another gas furnace for the attic. So Excel is coming to upgrade the service first. Then the new gas line can be run to the attic and the ductwork installed. We'll be without heat until the gas line is done, so I'm glad I have those flannel jammies with the integrated feet... ;-)
In the mean-time I've also been cleaning up various things: removing more knob and tube wiring in the basement, burping the radiators, locating & installing various interior door strike plates, and fixing the ill-fitting door to the sleeping porch.
