Construction in progress - Surprise visit by a QC inspector

The last couple of days have been very productive.  The shower wall has been removed to allow installation of the new wall framework and the new fiberglass panel.  Here is a pic of the shower with a great outside view.

Front wall of shower removed

From this point the replacement wood pieces are cut to fit with wider boards used for strength and to add attachment points for the finish shower panel.

Corner wall pieces cut to fit and in place for dry run.



I then turned attention to fabricating the corner framework for the other side.  The pieces were cut to fit and then installed using 3 inch screws and gorilla glue.  After the installation of the interior wall structure on this side, my work instructions had a QC hold point.  Imagine my surprise when celebrity QC inspector H. Simpson entered the work site.  He examined the repair quickly and signed of the step.  We then adjourned for donuts and coffee.

Inspection completed - Homer signed it off

The next step requires cutting the underlayment plywood to size and putting it in place then installing the remainder of the front shower wall and corner - that will be tomorrow when it's cooler outside.

After that the entire panel will be insulated with foil faced rigid foam.  The area where the wall joins the roof had absolutely no insulation in it from the factory.  It will be well insulated when I am done.

Thanks for reading my blog - comments are always appreciated.
