Jim did a ton of work in the laundry room today - including this entire wall of soundproof insulation! This was difficult to do because there are so many outlets on both sides, lots of wires, blocking and plumbing - all that Jim needed to fit the fiberglass around. He's glad this job is done!
The view from the kitchen...
He got the first piece of drywall on the knee wall - again, the other piece has to wait until the venting for the dryer is complete.
We got the first piece of drywall cut and marked and Jim is putting it in place...
This piece came with its own challenges - most of the bottom of this piece rests on the decking material, but a little bit rests on the tile flooring in the laundry room. So Jim had to cut that out as well as for the door header.
We took a break from drywall to do some siding. It's that time of the year, but we have so many wasps flying around when it's sunny. Jim first went out right after lunch but the wasps were all over so we waited until later in the afternoon. Again, Jim is making very custom pieces to go around the flashing cap and roof peak.
All the pieces installed that he could do today...
But he got the next group figured out, cut and primed - you can see these pieces will go around the peak. Once he gets past all these custom pieces, it will be back to normal siding - and then it will almost be done!
Back inside, Jim is prepping for the next piece. There was a live switch and GFI outlet in this area, so Jim had to turn off power and take both of them apart.
The piece is cut and marked and Jim is making his initial cuts for the boxes.
Carrying the piece into the laundry room...it always amazes me that Jim is able to get these pieces in place!
A perfect fit...
Initial screws are in and Jim is doing the final box cuts.
Finishing the fasteners...
Oops...we forgot to mark the location of the vent area for the back of the refrigerator! Jim was able to get it figured out and started to cut out the area...
All done...
Rewiring the boxes...
