A Visit and then Slave Labour

Hi, finally have a chance to catch up on all the goings-on.  On Thursday, we were very happy to have Joyce and Murray visit us for the evening.  After the obligatory house tour, we settled down at the fire pit and chatted while enjoying a wiener roast.  We were having such a good time that I neglected to take pictures until they were about to leave.  
Proof that they were actually here
Bright and early Friday, Len started to put up the insulation he brought home on Thursday.  We have had enough 5C mornings and hope that this will add a few degrees.  It was a HUGE job to get the area above the garage done because of the cathedral ceiling and the low rafters on the side.  We used Roxul which is made in BC out of crushed rock, not fiberglass.  So it was not as itchy or hard to work with.  We would recommend it.
Two layers need to be put in the ceiling

Lots of little places to fill

Good progress

Len's favourite - on his back in the crawl space

He must be getting done 

The new look is "green"

Even the stairwell got done
It took a full day, 8 to 8 to complete the work.  We celebrated by eating ice cream while we watched a movie.  Next, back to wiring.
