The 'Tape and Texture' Workers consume an enormous amounts of tape and mud (joint compound). We have 2200 sq. ft. of deconstructed walls and ceilings. This takes a lot of effort. In between the multiple applications of mud and toweling stokes.
While the T&T team is doing their thing on our walls and ceiling, Darrell prepare to change out old windows for the extremely efficient climate control glazing.
Below, the ceiling get their first evening coat of mud to provide a smooth surface for the the final texture pattern application.
First step to re-placing our six windows is a stable platform. The solution is mobile scaffold that can be placed in front of the windows needing replacement.
Replacement means you have to dismantle the old window trim, remove any damage wood and finally remove the old window.
Below you can see the empty cavity as the builders prepare to install the first of four 5'x5' picture windows. Also there are two 3'x10' windows to be removed and replaced with a new high tech window.
Here the builders discuss how best to install some of the interior windows and what level of tape and texture is needed to be done before the windows are installed.
Above Stacy removes the old glass and ready the space for the new window.
Kyle measures out the weather proof paper that the new window will sit on for its useful life.
Now the new window is floated into the hole and attached to the building
frame. Kyle holds the window steady while Stacy attaches the window to the
house.
Here Kyle uses his foot to stabilize the window while Stacy nails the window into position.
Darrell prays that these window installation goes without a hitch. Kyle stands tall keeping window alignment during the installation process.
Avove, Kyle takes a break with Pasco, Ben and Tamika, our CCI breeder dogs and co-PMs.
Everyday we would see Darrell calling, sometimes he was checking on his dad's progress with a medical treatment. This was his make shift office as he coordinates schedules and materials.
Looks awesome!
