The insulation arrives!

Did you know that a home is supposed to have 10-12 inches of insulation in the attic? Did you know ours has less than TWO?????

Yup- it's true! So-the government is offering a huge tax incentive to those who make their homes more effecient before December 31st. We decided now was the right time!

The kids jumped and danced at the window as they watched the huge truck try and pull into the driveway.
The only way to get to the attice is through Alaric and Amara's TINY closet ( poor contractors). So- they winded all their tubing through the front window.
And up a ladder into the attic. It took 3 hours and they blew more than 12 inches of insulation-including putting in FOURTEEN vents for air circulation.

I feel like I'm saving money already!
