Front of house with scaffolding for brick laying

The beginnings of our brick front

Frank on his back (silly boy!)

This past Wednesday the, 11th, we had the rough inspection on our house and we passed. During the rough inspection the building dept comes out and checks to make sure that we have done all of our plumbing, electrical and framing work properly. This also gave us the go ahead to put in the insulation. So we had the insulation guys come out on Thursday and it only took them a half a day to put all of it in! So that afternoon we had our insulation inspection and passed. Now we can start drywalling. All the drywall and materials were delivered Thursday and they will start hanging drywall on Monday. Our brick guy has also started to lay the brick for the front of the house. Andrew was a little concerned with the color when the bricks originally showed up, but now that they are on the house they look amazing!

We both went out to the house last night and did a little walk thru. We are very pleased with the insulation installation and the brick guy. It was very weird to walk into the house with the insulation in the walls. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it does. The house is so much quieter, it doesn't echo, and it feels much more a like a house. The foyer feels smaller too because now you can't see into the garage from the foyer.
