In this post you will see that the room has been stripped of its sheetrock & insulation.
Most of the high & Low voltage wiring has been completed. I have made a ceiling soffit to accent the couch that will be below. A few mini hi-hats in the soffit will supply direct downward light onto the sitting area.
Re-insulated all the walls and put up all the sheetrock!




The room is now stripped! That is original 1944 3/4 "tongue & groove" clapboard. I will say that it is sure hard to cut through even with a powersaw!

Insulation and sheetrock are going up! All soffit lighting has been installed and 2 lighting circuits are controlled by a lighting system called "Lutron". This is basically a lighting system that is programmable and uses different light settings by a system of low voltage triggers. You can set moods and also have the lights go to a preset when you start a movie!

"Tools of the insulating kind!"

The house is heated by a new type of boiler, it is a gas-fed system called "Direct Vent" and is 98% efficient. There is no chimney as the exhaust from the boiler is forced out a 6" pipe system. I did wish I had a fireplace as I really like them! Anyway, those are "old school" radiators! They sure do put off allot of heat!

Cool shots Dave! You inspired me to post some shots of our newly built house ...

Still I can't believe you have an all wooden house ... I think it's very special to see it because we don't have that here :D
