Action today on the inside. We came home to find the openings covered with plywood. Definitely changes the look. We wanted to see inside so out came the claw hammer to open the doorway enough to squeeze in. Looking up while standing in the pantry you can see the framing for the new access way to the green roof. The opening has also been cut out. Since this is now the highest part of the house we want it insulated very well since all our heat will end up here. A minimum of R-52 to match the R factor of the roof SIPs in the new section.
Also in the pantry the old window gone and a new frame is in place. This will be just an opening but it reflects the original design by maintaining an opening here.
The north wall of the kitchen has been made wider to match up with the SIP. This is both visual and will allow for lots of insulation. At least we'll have the kitchen and bathroom exterior walls insulated, unlike the rest of the house.
The bathroom is framed out. With a slightly thicker wall in part for the pipes to the sink and to do a recessed vanity.
On the exterior they finished the eves, built the overhang for the back stoop and put up the fire rated drywall on the north facing wall.
The strange thing about the fire-rated drywall is that it is on the outside of the SIPs.
