What a difference a day makes - today was in the upper 60s and the low is supposed to be in the 30s! Over a 20 degree difference from yesterday and even more for the overnight temps. It was a beautiful fall day.
My mom and I went to Saratoga Springs this morning and wandered through some of the cool shops they have. I failed to take pictures but we had a good time!
Meanwhile, Jim was very busy at the property. He did a ton of insulation work - including the tops of the walls of the stairwell landing and making more insulation baffles in the rafters.
He also got another piece of fascia board up - the last trim boards we have until he can pick up some more to finish this area.
Also outside, we set up another scaffolding tower so that Jim can work on installing the soffit and fascia boards in this area.
Then it was drywall time and time to tackle one of the most difficult pieces of kitchen ceiling drywall. This piece had to have 2 light boxes and the vent ductwork cut out. Here Jim is marking all the locations...
Using his compass to mark the ductwork location.
This circle needs to be extremely precise because the drywall has to be able to fit over the ductwork in order to lie flat on the ceiling so he can fasten it.
The holes are cut out so it's time to see how it fits...
Using the lift to move it into position...
The hole for the ductwork was just about perfect but Jim brought the piece down just a bit and made some minute adjustments.
Everything is now perfect - he cut out one of the light boxes and fastened one end.
Then he was able to move the lift a bit, cut out the other light box, and put in the rest of the fasteners.
Then he got the next piece cut and in place! My kitchen is looking great!
