The Walls Close In

The plywood sheer wall was put in place over the exterior wall for seismic upgrades after we sprayed the foam.  We then built a facade wall in front of the existing wall to create a recess for the television and sound system.

Master bath vanity wall and new window.

Now that the insulation is done, we can finally close the walls.  The spray foam expanded out, was shaved off even with the wood studs and is now ready for structural sheer walls then drywall.  Our drywall is now complete and awaiting mud and tape to complete the walls inside.

Our next task is to upgrade the existing roof to add insulation to that as well.  These houses were never built to be energy efficient, so our goal is to make it a much tighter and insulated structure by adding rigid foam to the roof.   We will replace it with a very exciting membrane cool roof which I'll talk about after the install this upcoming week.  More to come shortly !
