This is my new blog to update whomever is interested on my comings and goings. For the time being I am sure it will be much about the house I just bought. Read, don't read, whatever works for you...I guarantee nothing. :) Cheers!

And it's been 5 months...can you believe it?

I can not believe 5 months have gone by since I closed on this house.

Things aren't moving as quickly as I had hoped, but that's what you get with a ridiculously aggressive timeline.

Post receiving the highest gas bill of all times, we insulated. But all of the heat was still going upstairs, so plans were changed. We moved upstairs. It had an unfinished kitchen and bath that is being finished enough for living for a while. The kitchen will eventually be a master bath and laundry room, but until then, the entire upstairs will be a living area. Chuck is plumbing the bathroom and kitchen right now. Pre and current pictures to be posted soon.

Once we get this livable, we will determine the revised plans for downstairs.

Hope all is well with my friends. Take care. J mc

This is the main attic, off the second floor....somewhere between 12-16 inches of insulation. It's like a snow storm in there.... Posted by Picasa

So I got my first gas bill - $675. Wow! So Chuck and I spent X-Mas eve and the day after X-Mas putting in 105 bags of blow in insulation. Merry X-Mas to us! This is the first floor attic. Posted by Picasa
