The wall behind the woodstove. Drywalled.
The raised squares on the wall are spacers created from 2" square pieces of backerboard. They give us the air gap needed to decrease the distance that the stove must be from the wall by approximately 60%. I cut them with the diamond blade and used regular woodworking glue to […]

This morning, the roof of our house was an unbroken sheet of shingles. Now it is pierced in three places.
Two plumbing vents went in (a 2 inch and a 3 inch) and I believe that the plumber finished his work. I need to put in a dryer vent and direct vent for the water heater […]

On Wednesday, I talked to a plumber about coming out to take a look at the house and provide an estimate on finishing the plumbing work. Since the house is a mess I went down there Wednesday night to clean it up some before our meeting Thursday morning.
I ended up simply standing the flat wall […]

Put together the wall bits to go between the freezer and the mudroom. It’s a combination of a flat wall (1 1/2″ wide instead of 3 1/2″ wide) and a short (3 1/2″ square) extender wall. Studs in flat wall are a bit tweaked so I piled some wood on to try to straighten the […]
