Day 62: More porch beams, more wall framing, windows and electrical

It was a busy day. Justin installed the last 4 curved glulam beams over the porch.

Marty began framing two interior walls around the bathroom. Trevor and I prepared the openings to accept windows and doors. The window and door delivery happened in the afternoon. We unloaded the truck and had time to install 3 windows before the end of the day. Here is a pic of the loft casement window opening to the south.

Erik the electrician showed up and began installing electrical wiring boxes in the wall. Rectangular pockets are carved in the APEX wall material to accept the boxes. Since the wall is 85% foam, this is an easy process. In the pic below you can see some boxes for wall sockets in the bedroom. The white spray painted lines represent where channels will be routed to accept Romex cable.

Green comment for today:
The Greenspec online product directory provides a great starting point in your green product search. It may not list all green products available in a category, but you can be sure that listed products have passed a thorough screen for greenness. This is where I first heard of Loewen windows.

Stella status:
Stella got stung or bit in the cheek by something today - probably a wasp. Her face was so swollen I couldn't bear to take a pic. Her tail was still wagging the whole time, even though she was probably hurting.

Thanks for reading. I enjoy reading your comments.
