We opted to add spray foam insulation to the exterior walls of our home for added warmth and energy efficiency. There are so many frustrating days to building a custom home, and waiting for contractors to show up when they darn well please is a big one. "My van broke down...", "It is too cold to work..." I am so ready to be done. Finally the insulation guys showed up on Saturday to begin when they should have started the Monday previous. Already it has made a difference, though with only plastic on three of our windows, there is room for improvement.
We checked with our General Contractor to make sure that the foam was being sprayed to a depth of 2". They were doing a pretty good job. While one guy sprayed, another worked at putting in the insulation batts. We have chosen to insulate all exterior and interior walls. Here's hoping for an energy-efficient house.
It won't be long before Misha won't be able to climb the wall to her shelf without some kind of ladder. She climbs up every time we visit and has plans for an elevated reading nook.
Whenever I think the lake is as full as it is going to get, I notice that the shore line has risen just a little bit more.
