This past week we were again blessed with friends and neighbors who came over and helped us work on our house. I was so hoping that putting a ceiling in would help keep us warm but we really didn't feel a difference. It is still pretty cold!
Burning wood in our stove I can usually get our house up to about 60. But if I leave for any length of time or during the night that temperature drops pretty quickly. Most mornings (even with our gas fireplace going all night long) we get up to about 53 degrees. It is so cold! I keep telling myself to just keep holding on. We are so close!
Before climbing into bed I heat up our sheets with a blow dryer!
Brayden quite often eats his breakfast in front of the fireplace! He sure knows how to hog up all the heat.
We have worked almost every single night this week. We are getting insulation next Tuesday. But before we do that there were a few things that still needed to be done. For example the water heater and dryer exhaust pipes that run up and through the attic to the outside. Grandpa Heaton and Hunter worked on that part.
After installing the wire for the doorbell we were able to finish putting in the insulation bats on that outside wall.
Then outside we needed to put some sort of a closure on so that when they blow the insulation in it it won't go out the eaves!
With the laundry room completely done we had our friend come over and tape and texture the laundry room and the 2nd bedrooms closet. Now we can paint! WooHoo!
It is so nice to see the house coming along.
