Thanksgiving....It's all about the stuffing

Yup it was all stuffing all weekend long.  Not the kind of stuffing that makes one's appetite satiated, more the kind that makes your skin itch, your shoulders sore and likely clogs your lungs with little pink pieces of some sort of polystyrene.

But the place is mostly warm now, practically livable even though it went to the low single digits in the night time out there.  There's no longer a slow wave of cold air pouring in from the rafters, but I still have some work to do, especially with vapor barrier that will close out the remaining drafts.

It's not so much the insulating that is a struggle, it's the fact that the main ridge beam sits roughly 25ft off the floor.  That's 4 layers of scaffolding to build.  lots of lifting and make sure you keep your balance.....it's kind of scary up there.




Cheers
Peter

    Thought I'd check in ... see if there was anything new? I guess not ... as there is no blog update. ;)
    Look forward to seeing the growing family soon.
