Insulated

It's not a huge change, but they've insulated and now some of the rooms are blocked off (you can't see through the studs), which makes it feel more like it will once it's all sheetrocked. So I took pictures. Casey and I spent the weekend at the house. Saturday we painted trim white prior to it being put up and laid contractor's paper down on the upstairs floor...a MUCH harder job than I would have imagined. It took us nearly 5 hours. Then on Sunday we went back to do the same to the basement floor, and that application took much less time. Either the learning curve caught up with us or it was easier. Probably a little of both.

No pics of the papered house, just insulation shots...sheetrock should be done in about 2.5 weeks. Inspection results keep holding us back but plumbing and electrical are roughed in and we should have water hooked up to the house next week. Normally, I would be appreciative that the inspector is ensuring our house is built up to proper codes, but the most recent request is a little ridiculous. We had an aluminum attic ladder that didn't have the sticker on it to say it was fire safe or whatever. Had to go buy a wooden one...obviously more fire safe don't you think? Stupid if you ask me and costly for no reason. Oh well, now when we're chilling up in the attic and a fire breaks out, we can be sure our ladder will stand up long enough for us to grab our folding chairs, finish our drinks and head downstairs to the safety of the garage. Doesn't everyone spend the weekends in their attic?

I digress...here's the updated pictures. Enjoy.
