date night.

Last Wednesday night September 7th was the last night before the drywall guys arrived. Wednesday night is Date Night. But with insulation finishing touching to be done, Date Night was working at the house together. It turned out better because Thad Nelson was available to help too. Thad has been helping with the insulation since Mike had to go to St. Louis for a second surgery in mid-August. This huge job would not have gotten done without Thad's skilled help.

Finishing touches included Mike filling "holes" with various forms of insulation. Note: Mike would not recommend using insulation foam using a syringe. (The yellow foam only took about a week to wear off after the can dispenser exploded in his hands!) They also had to staple plastic sheeting over the insulation on the outside walls. My job was handling staple refills to the guys when their staple guns went empty so they didn't have to crawl down from the ladders. It sounds small but it actually felt very important. All in a night's work.
