Ready for some flooring

I went and picked up the remaining z flashing from Ace, since Home Depot hasn't had any in stock for almost a month.  I should have waited. The stuff they had at ace was barely stronger than aluminum foil.  It is easy to see with them side by side.


It didn't take long before I thumped it with the the drill.  I didn't even hit it with the pointy end of a screw, the screw fell out and the torx bit on the drill hit the flashing.  That was it.


There was another problem with it too.  It was shorter than the Home Depot stuff.  This means in places where the siding didn't perfectly line up, I had an issue.  Thankfully I only had one instance of this, and took a small piece of scrap of the Home Depot stuff and slid that in behind it. 


Despite that though, the z-flashing is now complete all the way around.




After that I turned my attention to the flooring inside.  I started with the spray foam pest block.  There was a little more in the corners and around the pipe to do.




I also braced the pipe since I know the foam like to push things around. 


For reference this is how much a single roll of insulation covers.  Not as much as I had hoped. 


I completed the first two pieces of flooring.  I am not going to bother with another layer to fill in the joists, I don't think it is worth the time or money to ludicrously overinsulate the floor. 


I cut the remaining part of the second roll into batts, since I was at the point of needing to remove the temporary plywood floor.  I got lucky and the length was a perfect number of batts.


I got abnormally ambitious and decided to complete as much as I could.  I actually used the entire second roll.  I don't have quite enough done to be able to cover the wheels, but it is getting pretty close.


Unfortunately though, there was a casualty.  It's arm is off.


When I plugged the bug zapper back in, there was a giant butterfly on it.  Not sure what type.


I also went up and looked at a dishwasher this morning, but decided against it.  There was a rather strong odor of mildew and mold in it. 

I need to finish the plumbing work before I get too much further.  I haven't completed any of the copper, or done any pressure testing.  In an odd turn of events, the floor insulation is going much faster than anticipated.  I think I might get the plywood flooring in for at least the first two sheets though, since I no longer have any place to work inside with the large piece of plywood gone.
