Putting up a copper trim piece. We had just enough for this, and one other trim nearby-- thanks to Beth's idea of a configuration that worked.

Put the metal on the end of the reading nook. Doesn't the copper look great?! I found if I wore my hat on my face, it helped keep metal chips out of my mouth, and seal around my nose to keep the chips from slipping into my goggles.

Another wall covered with metal. I also have two tours today, and sealed and mounted an outside electrical box.

Made holes and sealed around them, for the heat exchanger to go. Also, designed enough details on the heat exchanger that we knew where to put them.

Spray foam'ed the house! Fun, but so glad to have that task done!

A buddy came by and helped. He knew a thing or two about good, neat, wiring. We also finished the plumbing to the point where we can now SPRAY FOAM. (Finally!)

Test fitting the sink and faucet

Got the North vent sealed up and attached. There will be a white rain shield/cosmetic cover over this.

Tee will face toward the hole in the wall. The fitting sitting in the lower left will be screwed in from the outside, sandwiching the metal. The hole is black because the temporary tape stayed on in the rain :)

Well, it's raining today, but here are pictures​ from earlier in the week: marking out a hole for a vent pipe, and then once it was cut, the sunset through it.

Cut a hole, made a rubber gasket, and installed the electrical hook up.

The metal needs some screws, but the light is sealed and installed.

A new angle on metal installation: diagonal ribs. Here I'm marking for a hole for a wire for a light by the door.

I got some torx screw bits. I could have continued to make-do with what I had, but after all, torx is the future.
