❗️Insulating the ceiling! Much different from the walls, we use wool insulation that’s about R-Value 40. ❗️

💭Difference between wool insulation and urethane is that we need to use a vapour barrier (the plastic you see) and tape any holes in the ceiling to prevent air leaks which can drastically affect the comfort during the seasons.

During this time We took the opportunity to install the braces for the new fan.

Part 1 of 2.

🧐 Here we are building out the mezzanine wall, first opening on the right you notice is the actual door entrance.

😬 We do not frame out door opening like standard practice, meaning 2" extra of door width and height, but rather a specific measurement sent to us by  Ez Concept as we're going with casing-less door frames for the whole condo (more on this later).

💭 Last part of the flooring process was the bathroom. First layers went down but didn’t not screw them in completely so that the plumbing could be installed.

💭 In the shower, we prepared backing on the height of the floor joists to accept the schluter shower base that is predone with a slope in it.

💭 By raising the floor on the mezzanine and keeping the level of the floor at the joist level we are creating a barrier free entrance to the shower.

😎 No more steps to get into the shower!
