STEP 17 - DRYWALL

Drywall is a wall covering with a core of gypsum powder mixed with adhesives covered by a heavy paper and it is the most common interior wall covering in Canadian home building. It can be cut with a knife, saw or router blade to fit and is screwed to the wall studs, floor joists and roof trusses. at this point the interior of the house really takes shape. When fully “boarded” (all surfaces sheeted with drywall) there are many joints between the boards and all screws are visible. The drywall sheets are then “taped” to hide those joints and screws. A paper tape, similar to the drywall’s paper coating is applied at all joints and seams with a mud mixture of gypsum adhesives and water. This covers the joint and strengthens it. The mud mixture is applied to make the joints appear smooth and straight.

Taping is a trade with a lot of expertise required to make the joints invisible. (It takes several years to become a good taper). After three coats of drywall mud are applied, the drywall is then sanded to smooth out all joints and make the walls and ceilings appear straight. The better the taper is, the less sanding is required.

STEP 16 - INSULATION and POLY

Once the All trades inspection is passed, the next step is to insulate and Poly the exterior walls and ceilings. There is a national energy code that sets a minimum R value for wall and ceiling insulation and for the sealing of the Poly vapor barrier. Insulation slows the transfer of hot to cold air. The higher the R value the slower the transfer.

The minimum R value for walls is R20 and for ceilings it is R50. There are many types of insulation with the most common ones being fiberglass bats and loose fill or spray foam. The most used insulation is fiberglass as spray foam is very costly. The Poly vapor barrier is a heavy plastic film used to prevent moisture from inside the house penetrating the walls. Without a vapor barrier moisture can get into the wall cavities where it would build up and eventually rot the wood in those cavities.

The vapor barrier is sealed at all joints and openings which helps prevent drafts and outside air from leaking into the house. A properly sealed membrane will reduce heating costs. At this stage another inspection is done by the city or RM to ensure proper sealing of the moisture barrier.

STEP 15 - INSPECTIONS

In Manitoba we have several inspections by the City or RM to ensure that we and our trades are complying with the national codes. It is always good to have a second set of eyes check your work to ensure code compliance.

The first inspection is referred to as the “All Trades” Inspection. An inspector comes to the house to check:

• The structure of the house
• The plumbing rough in
• The electrical system rough in

When they have checked all three elements and are satisfied that the work is done correctly and complies with the building codes, a green sticker is given and displayed in the house. This gives us the go ahead to start the next step which is insulation and poly. If defects are found the inspector will list them on a red sticker and they must be corrected and then re-inspected before we can move to the insulation and poly stage.

STEP 14 - ELECTRICAL ROUGH IN

After heating and venting comes the electrical rough in. At this stage all the light fixture boxes, plug boxes and switch boxes are installed in the house. Copper wire is run through the house within the walls and floor systems so that everything will be covered, and safe once drywall is completed.

The wires run from box to box in circuits and are fed back to the central electrical panel normally located in basement. The wires will eventually be tied into the panel box providing power to all the circuits.

We also run the low voltage lines for TV, phone, security systems, and sound systems at this time.
