We had an appraiser over today. The last appraisal was 2 years ago and pre-remodel. We hope to get a new number so we can move some money around. Cash is really tight, and we have some of those interest free purchases coming due in January.
I have been working inside for a while. I just finished tiling the bathroom floor on the main level bath. I will post pics soon.
The guest room on the lower level had all hte drywall on the outside wall removed. Margaret pulled it down when we had those water leaks. It was all moldy inside and the insulation was moldy. Well, it has been quite drafty in there since then.
Last weekend we re-insulated (had a crack between the subfloor and the outside bottom plate that was downright windy) with expanding foam & batts. We got that up & the vapor barrier and sheetrocked it. Have not taped it off yet. It is much warmer.
Also I went into the sub-basement and did some work. There was a duct that was disconnected when we poured the new wall. I re-connected that vent. I also properly sealed a hole in the trunk from an old vent that we took out of service. lastly, I used aluminum tape and taped all of the joints in the trunk.
