Week 2
Just a quick update of where we stand. Checked my finances and I think I can afford one more week which should get us through drywall.
As of Friday, my brother had finished all the lighting and 99% of the electrical. He's just finishing up a couple outlets this morning. He is also putting in 2 heating diffusers off of the ventilation running between the floor joists.
Saturday I went and picked up all the insulation. Got R13 unfaced batts for the outside walls and 40' rolls of kraft faced R11 for the ceiling (for sound control). Sunday I went and ordered all the drywall. 50 sheets of it, which will be delivered Tuesday morning. I paid an extra $100 to have them deliver it into the basement. I thought that was really high but it'll save my brother a days worth of just moving drywall so it's worth it.
Yesterday I also ran phone and cable to the 2 rooms. I also ordered a 5x8 Multi-switch to be able to distribute the 4 incoming lines of Satellite tv (DirecTV) plus the terrestrial antenna line into 8 outputs. When this arrives I will need to adjust the lines I currently have running directly to the living room.
So far, I've spent just about $2,000 on materials.
