We went to Zelda on Saturday, to finish the upstairs exterior wall insulation and to install a glass block window in the master bath. We were unable to find the mortar for the the glass block so we only were able to finish the installation of the insulation. Brent did do some framework for the upstairs hvac return. The Workmans are really doing a great job on the sheetrock. The downstairs is nearly finished with only a few spots remaining. When we arrived, sheetrock was being applied to the ceilings upstairs.Monday, September 1, 2008

August 23, 2008 - Interior Painting
Well it has taken over a year but, Brent actually was applying interior primer on the ceiling and walls in the kitchen. The Workmans have nearly finished installing all the sheetrock downstairs and it looks great. Lynn continued to install insulation on the exterior walls upstairs and should finish next weekend. Now the the interior is taking shape it really makes us happy to see the vision coming together, yet sad we will not live in Zelda.

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.
