This is a LOT of work.
In the end, we will have a more functional
second floor that will also be more comfortable temperature-wise, in both
winter and summer. Shoot, it’s so well insulated up there now you need short
sleeves if there’s a light bulb on.
The insulation is complete and has passed inspection.
The night I went upstairs and caught Dave piecing pink
insulation around blobs of foam in the wall cavities I told him it might be
time to quit. He grinned and replied, “The inspector is going to think I’m
crazy.”
Gutters were not included in the deal with the contractor so Dave hung those one sunny fall afternoon.
And he wonders where those 5 pounds went...
Next step is drywall.
Having
spent the past twenty-one years living under the same roof with the guy, I
have a strong suspicion that Dave will be hanging the drywall himself rather
than hiring someone to do the job.
