More progress!

With the electric, plumbing, and HVAC now complete we hit the insulation stage of our little house. This was a welcome milestone as it now allows us to turn on the AC and work in coolness. And after several months of 95 degree heat believe me, it is a welcome change. We had the ceiling and the floor insulation blown in and decided to use bat insulation for the walls as a cost savings measure. The blown in stuff though highly efficient is very expensive.

Bill and I spent about 4 hours on Saturday doing the bat stuff. We are over half done. I did the measuring and cutting and Bill stapled it in place. It went pretty fast but I was bushed when we stopped for the day. I think we only have about 3 more hours to get it done. It was sure nice to have the AC working though.

This picture was taken from the tiny hall to the bedrooms looking into the living/dining area.  You can see the green foam insulation and our finished bat insultion on the walls. It sure is looking good and I was especially happy that once the walls were filled with something it didn't look smaller like I thought it would. We will finish the insulation on Monday then when we return from our NY trip we will have the sheetrock put in. Then it's the fun stuff! Yahoo. Those pictures will be a lot more exciting for all of us.
