Stopping by for a drink of water.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Can’t believe Code changed to R49, that’s crazy. Air infiltration is a bigger issue than R value. I might have to look at rafters, didn’t want to go that route. I’m bummed out.

That’s what made urethane foam worth the expense, I was able to use smaller lumber, I can get R21 in a 2x4 wall as well.
Did you verify that your municipality requires compliance to the IECC code?

Good Morning
63° with a high in the low 80’s under partly cloudy skies becoming clear by late morning.

Yesterday was another busy and productive day on the construction site. The foundation walls are all formed up, squared and level. I was impresssd with how precise they get them.

I had to leave around noon to go to Portland, when I got home I checked the elevation of the sleeve they placed in the wall for the sewer line to exit the foundation and determined that it should be 4” lower to give the proper fall to the tank.
They placed it where we discussed, but the elevations were only eyeballed. The walls get poured today, so it’s not too late to change it.
The downside is that I won’t be here for the pour, I’m off to Palm Beach early this morning. The good news is that I’ll be back by 2 or so. This should be my last trip for a little while, I’m only doing the ones where my presence is requested by the client so I can be here for the construction.

Darn good to read your back home L4N.

 

[wngsprd]

66 and cloudy/damp. Not raining yet. 81 high.

Buppies, glad your health is improving and you got the cancers off your skin.

Mostly, hope you have a good visit with stepson. Sounds like you had a long drive.

L4N, I bet it's good to be home. Take it slow and easy.

Got a hike in yesterday between puppy times...not much else besides swapping the bucket in place of the grapple on the FEL.

Started cleaning up my cabin plans, and ended up spending the day. I haven't caught up yet on todays posts, about 50 behind it seems. Then just as I finished tonight, I'm thinking I might swap the front side, so all water is in a concentrated area. Also, if I do put in basement, stairs will need to come out of Family room space to the right as you go in front door, so would rather make kitchen smaller then the alternative. Plus, I found way to fit the laundry inside, so don't need the ugly box on the back. If I do basement, water heater can go downstairs.
I put SIPs on another layer and shut it off, probably won't do because of the price difference. Actually layed out most of the studs in the walls on another layer I have turned off, not done with that, but that will be helpful when framing. I'm excited about this version.

I would have the front door swing the other way.
