Well folks things are actually progressing. The floor trusses are laid, decking on , stud walls up and most of the trusses on the roof. No sheathing on walls or roof, but the contractor assures me the carpenter will finish tomorrow and the roofer will work Saturday to make it water tight. Time will tell right?. I noticed when putting the holes in the side wall rim joists of the old house that I couldn't feel any insulation in the basement finished walls. So today while putting some holes to run wiring to the new room I checked at another spot. Now since I want to run a future drain line for a future laundry room I went ahead and removed the drywall in the small hallway stairwell area to see if I might put the drain in this wall. And yes I was right there is no insulation in the finished basement walls. No wonder the basement is cold. Half of the wall sticks above grade level. What idiot would go to the expense of finishing a basement wall with out insulating it? Well that will be a future project once the room is done.
