Insulation is going in.

Today the insulation is being blown in at THGB. Once it has dried we will be able to start installing the drywall on the perimeter walls. This weekend we would also like to move rock into the new portion of the basement in preparation for pouring the floor. If you would like to help, please sign-up or give us a call at 837-4047.

More progress

The ceiling drywall was completed today as was most of the interior walls. This week our plans are to have the insulation installed in the perimeter walls and then finish hanging drywall on those walls. Once the weather improves we'll have lots of exterior work to do such as framing the porch, hanging siding, landscaping, and pouring concrete for the driveway and sidewalk. Check back later this week for updated plans for volunteer opportunities this weekend. As always, if you would like to sign-up to help take a look at www.thehouseGodbuilt.volunteerhub.com.

Drywall weekend continues!!

Great progress was made on hanging drywall today. The ceiling is almost completely hung now and many of the interior walls are completed as well. Many thanks to the three small groups that volunteered to help this week and to the individuals who provided a great lunch to those on site today.

If you have time to help on Sunday please volunteer by signing up online or give us a call at 837-4047. If your small group would like to work on The House God Built as a Service project please contact us. We would love to have your help!

Drywall weekend

We will be hanging drywall on interior walls and the ceiling of the kitchen, dining room, and living room this weekend. If you know how to hang drywall, want to know how to hang drywall, or just want to help anyway please sign-up at www.thehouseGodbulit.volunteerhub.com or give us a call at 837-4047.

Bring a screwgun if you have one. We do have heat so the temperature in the house is comfortable while you're working.

Another milestone reached

We learned today that we have passed our electrical inspection!

Many thanks to all who helped to get this accomplished. Now that this has occurred we are able to move forward with the insulation that is scheduled to be installed tomorrow. Volunteers spent this weekend, Monday night, and much of Wednesday hanging drywall on the ceiling of all but the living room, kitchen and dining room. These rooms will be tackled this weekend. Today drywall was hung in the study and the master bedroom walls. We are hoping for a big turnout of help this weekend and have a small group that is scheduled to work on Saturday morning but still need additional help (especially for Saturday and Sunday afternoon). If you have time to come out to help hang drywall we could use a hand. If you don't know how to hang drywall don't worry we can use your help too. To volunteer sign-up online or give us a call at 573-837-4047.

Still on hold for drywall

We're checking back in with the city to make sure our requests for framing and electrical inspections were not lost due to the ice storm this week. We'll post information about drywall hanging and other projects at The House God Built as soon as possible.

Unable to start drywall again tonight

We are still waiting on inspections to occur so that we can move on to drywall. Check back here tomorrow for updates. Stay warm.

Work Cancelled Today--Due to Weather

Check back later for updates.

Weather or not

No typo there. Weather is an issue today. We are going to try to get supplies to be able to drywall tonight but may call off work if conditions continue to worsen as predicted. Check back on the blog before heading over to THGB.

Drywall time!!

The electrical rough-in was finished today so that puts us on schedule to start drywall installation on Monday!! We have a tight deadline so any help on Monday night starting at 5:00 pm would be GREAT!!! Here's the plan: as long as we are able to get the electrical work inspected on Monday afternoon, we will begin hanging drywall on the ceiling of the second floor and on the portion of the first floor that is single story. This must be done by Thursday as we are scheduled to have the insulation installed that day. Our plan is to continue working on Tuesday and Wednesday night as well until the drywall is up in those areas. If you can work with us this week please sign-up at www.thehouseGodbuilt.volunteerhub.com or by calling us at 573-837-4047. We need skilled and unskilled volunteers so don't hesitate to come just because you don't know how to do a specific job. Hope to see you this week at The House God Built!

Join us at THGB this week

Things are going to be busy this week at THGB. Today the electrical rough-in is being completed which means the city can do their inspection early this week. Once the inspection occurs we will be hanging drywall on the ceiling of the second floor and the rear of the first floor in preparation for insulation being blown into the attic on Thursday.

Today we'll also be pouring forms for the porch which will be framed later this week and digging the forms for the chimney. We'll start working at 1:00 today. If you have time to stop by we would love to have your help. Also, we will need help on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Wednesday evening (electrical inspection will determine when we can work) hanging drywall. Check back here for updated information on when this will occur or sign-up at www.thehouseGodbuilt.volunteerhub.com and we'll contact you.

Work for February 9 & 10

We have lots of odds and ends that need to be completed this weekend. Carpentry projects include moving some framing on the second floor, finishing the framing of the fireplace, installing hurricane clips between the raffles, and insulation baffles between the raffles. Outside we'll be placing footings for the porch and digging footings for the fireplace. We'll be at the house on Saturday from 8:00 until 5:00 and again on Sunday from 1:00 until 5:00. We would love to have your help. If you have questions, please give us a call at 573-837-4047 or sign-up at www.thehouseGodbuilt.volunteerhub.com.
