A big week ahead at the cabin with a lot of activity. Monday saw the Pex tubing get installed for radiant heat in the newly remodeled area. These were installed over Ecowarm subfloor boards. The Ecowarm panels are fully coated with aluminum as the top layer and notched for the Pex. The aluminum helps to reflect and radiate the heat from the tubes into the room versus back down into the subfloor.

Roofing begins this week with fresh decking on almost the entire lower four feet of the roof go replace the rotted wood. New Grace ice and water shield on the lower 6 feet and in all valleys will go in as will new ridge vents. Landmark Pro shingles (hunter green) will go on as well.

Our beloved (and damn expensive) Andersen Woodwright windows arrive this week to begin being installed. We chose these for their design and materials which gives us some degree of maintenance-free living and they come as close as we can get to the look of the original windows.

Appliances come (a bit early…more on that later) later in the week as well to be stored for now until we are ready. They are the GE Cafe line in matte black to continue the dark iron theme of some of the interior items.

Also, thanks to You Tube, we have fashioned up our own system to vacuum out the old insulation from the attic before we blow in some new fiberglass everywhere.
