warm and quiet

The insulation crew is still finishing up. They are filling in spots where the spray foam isn't as thick as it should be, and trimming off sections that stick out past the studs so it won't interfere w/ the drywall installation. The boss is out of town this week, so things aren't moving along like they were last week. Today, the 2 guys who were working told Walton that they should be done tomorrow. The drywall crew was ready to start Tuesday, but when they saw the insulation was not finished they had to wait.

Walton took Kyle to work with him at the new house yesterday. They put acoustic insulation in the interior walls where there is plumbing so we won't hear water running through the pipes so much. My Dad told us that he wishes they had done that when they built their house 30+ years ago, so we took his advice. Kyle helped measure and cut the insulation. He told Walton he thinks it's good that we're building a house instead of just buying one that's already built because we are learning a lot as we go. He is so right!
