Installing Sliding Door

Monday was wet and cold, a good day to work under the roof.

The pond didn't freeze but the trees were covered in wet snow. This is April 24th, didn't spring start a few weeks ago?

Today the guys are coming to spray foam the outside of the house. The windows were all covered in plastic in preparation for the job. Not sure if this was necessary; it really depends on the skill level of the person applying the foam. Now our trailer is 8 feet from the house. I don't want to move it but will cover it with a tarp if necessary.

We have two sliding doors and two swing doors to install before the frames get covered in foam. Yesterday TJ and Dave managed to get one door in place. These doors are very heavy and the guys did a great job to get them installed without dropping it.

Dave steadies the sliding door while TJ drives the screws into the buck. Yes, he did shim and made sure the door was level and square before the final attachment.

Like my baffles between the roof trusses? I needed something up there to keep the cellious from cover the soffit, so this was the cheapest method I could come up with. It will be covered and out of sight so it didn't have to be fancy.

The door is in and now it can be sealed with foam. This house should be weather tight and draft proof by the time we get finished.

Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I will have pictures of the spray foam going on.
