The Last Spike!

This weekend was full of excitement! This was the weekend that we would finish the exterior siding... I could feel it.   But let me back up.








Last week, we had the electrical inspector (Joey) out to inspect our wiring.  I met him on site, and then we called Rob in Regina a few times to clarify things. Overall, Joey was satisfied with what we had done... but there were a few deficiencies we had to clear up, and then he would close off the permit.  The issues--need to install a bushing grommet in the wire coming into the breaker box, strip off the insulation on the wire in the box, cover the wires below the box, and put insulation putty in and outside the conduit.












So we set aside Saturday to work on the exterior--finishing one board on the east face and six rows on the west face, in order to get that done and then have the building inspector out to close off that permit.  So Saturday was a beautiful fall day, and Rob finally nailed the final spike... I mean nail on the east face!!!










Then we moved to the west face.  The six rows took about 3 hours.  Ta dah!  A garage finally with real siding instead of Tyvec siding!.














Then on Sunday, Rob addressed the deficiencies, and I did insulation on the final wall we had left.


Now we just have to find a drywaller to mud and tape and paint the inside.  Then... we move all the stuff in--hope it all fits!
