Happy Earth Day!!

Today the exterior walls of our house are getting thicker and will ultimately be 18 inches thick with plenty of dense pack cellulose insulation.  The SIGA tape (high performance adhesive tape for the pre-installation of vapor control layers on hard surfaces such as wood and metal) has been placed around all windows, doors and wall seams.

On the west facade of the house the 12" I-Joists are up and the south side work has begun.  With the anticipation of rain tomorrow the roof membrane will go on in the morning and will allow for second floor interior wall framing to begin in dry conditions.
