looking for a coal mine
Looking good! I'm helping my brother with a similar project 6 hours away in Buffalo, NY. He and my 73 yo Dad did the gutting and framing, I did wiring, plumbing and HVAC. The drywall was hired out, then he painted, did the flooring, and I hung cabinets, plumbing finish out and tied in the new panel. Still have some trim to finish up and siding but it's getting there. He opted to spray 2" of the foam on the exterior walls both for sound and R value, then added fiberglass batts as well for R-26 to fight the Buffalo cold. We also put in conduits for future wire pulls to the panel, but as mentioned, with everything going wireless we didn't go overboard. Next spring we will remove an old attatched garage and replaxce it with a livingroom/foyer addition, but he needs a rest for now.
Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress, it has been fun to watch!
Any interest and coming out to do the HVAC work?
I've been a little amazed at the estimates for running new ducts.
