The Saga Continues!: Things are moving rapidly

I apologize for not having published an update in the past couple of weeks. The room has been closed off to contain the dust so Laura has been unable to take any pictures. Our contractor has been taking some but had some trouble transferring them to us. He was finally able to transfer a few that I have attached to this post.

Work has been progressing quite rapidly the past couple of weeks. All of the rough in has been completed for everything and the closed cell foam insulation has been applied. We're anticipating this insulation to be a big help with the heating and cooling of the bathroom. At 2.5" of thickness it provides R23 insulation value and in addition because of how it expands the blocks of any air leakage. We actually decided to go ahead and replace the fiberglass insulation in the crawl space under our kitchen and breakfast area with it also because of its insulation efficiency.

Actually, all of the sheetrock have also been hung and finished and the painter primed it all today. We've picked out everything except the layout of the closet. Laura met with California closets today and is meeting with another closet company tomorrow, so we should have that finalized by early next week. I'm also still looking at emergency generator options of that is it not really part of the remodeling.

The project's decorator, Laura has picked out a very nice paint scheme for the bathroom and our bedroom. It will probably drive the painter a little crazy (if they aren't already) because she is using a total of 9 colors between the two rooms. It will really make the rooms look for a classy!
It looks like I will now be going home near the end of October, later than we had planned but at least I'm going home.

Here's a picture of the new window we put in over the bathtub, loss of life and ventilation.
