Progress continues with work on sheetrock! We're getting close now! A number of BIG 'Thank yous' are due. Here they are:
Jon and Joe at Riverview Home Improvement for their contribution with the siding.
Men from Constance: Lee, Mike, Ken, Rob, Chuck and of course Jeff for their time hoisting, cutting, and hanging sheetrock.
Just to be silly, I'm thanking myself for time spent working on the sheetrock. Not that I need the thanks, I'm just curious to see how closely you're reading :) Plus I'm very excited to be able to do something that I can handle!

Insidulation
I'll be you've never heard the title of today's post before. Of course you haven't since I just made it up. It's a word to capture the work that's been accomplished the last two days.
On Monday just before 7 am, the siders were here ready to go. Just before 8 am the insulator was ready to primp and fluff the place. It's just amazing to me what gets done when people are professionals in their trade. Things that would take me forever (if I could even do it), take them only minutes or hours.
The tricky part comes when I the homeowner need to make decisions, but I don't really know the answers. I end up getting a little concerned because I don't have the expertise. It seems to work out best if I get options from the professionals, weigh them out and then make an educated guess. So far it's working.
By afternoon the insulator was done and the inspector signed off!
By the end of the day the only thing left for the siders was the back. They had to piece our existing house together with what we had torn off last fall. They did an awesome job!
