They've got the rafters and roof sheathing on our house, having put up the load-bearing walls in two days, and have started on the non-load-bearing walls and the water lines and wiring. The sheer-wall sheathing is being done today. We have the pre-drywall walk-through on Tuesday, a week from now. Hope you wired the house with CAT5 here/there/everywhere, as well as RG-6 for the boob tube.. Fifteen dataports (two-line phone, Cat5e, two sets of coax), including one on the patio and one on the front porch (two dataports came standard with the house). Plus six or seven two-line phone outlets and one set of coax, standard. And another wiring box to hold all of this. I also put in electrical receptacles right by the outside dataports. It's nice enough here to sit outside and read Usenet on my laptop during the day. Retirement is fun. They put in the additional can lights and the quadraplex outlets yesterday. They've put in the fireplace, the HVAC units and ducting, the alarm system, and the J-boxes, wrapped the house in tar paper, and started putting the foam and chickenwire on the outside. I think we're about a week from drywall now. They put on the brown coat a couple of days after that. They've got the tiles on the roof already, not in place, but up there to put the weight on for the frame and stucco. The insulation is a combination of blown cellulose and 1-in. foam, but I don't see how they're going to get the blown stuff in there, unless they go through the foam just before they stucco. All the studs have firebreaks, of course, and the twelve-foot studs have two, so it's not going to be quick. They do use bats in the garage, though. Maybe they use a smaller hole to blow the cellulose in than I think they do. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer |

((:-)) We actually got 1.2 in. in 24 hours a couple of weeks ago and it rained a bit this morning. That first storm was a real surprise to the weather guessers. It was more than 50 years a go, but when I went through, every cadet had to carqual in basic, in an SNJ. At that time, no one had yet been required to choose single or muti-engine. I think this requirement comes and goes, based on something I heard. I had thought everyone had to, as you say, but there was some change for the helo cadets and, later, for the C-130 guys, according to a helo guy I know. Someone told me the C-130 guys were trained by the USAF or something, unless that was the Coast Guard, but that might have been some, not all, or it might be wrong altogether. He wasn't certain.
