One Year at Zelda on July 13th

Great News - The electrican finally reached the point and called for an inspection. It passed. We are at the one (1) year mark from when demolition started, and new progress is being made. Since Brent moved to Chattanooga, the progress at Zelda has been slow, but this weekend, we made a lot of progress.

We had a full work crew on Saturday, Brent, Lynn and the twins, that allowed us to have two (2) crews for installing insulation. At the end of the day, we had finished 90% of the downstairs. Next weekend, we will finish the downstairs and start the upstairs.

The sheetrock work will start this week. Ray and his family will start hanging the ceilings and interior walls. Brent still has a few corners to add nailers, but we are excited that walls will soon define the house. We still have to have an inspection made on the insulation before the exterior walls are allowed to be sheetrocked.

The twins, Jennifer and Jessica, have been accepted into the University of Tennessee and will begin school this fall. They move into the dorms on August 20th and can hardly wait.

We should post some new pictures of the insulation, sheetrock and wiring after next weekend.
