The insulation of the 315 Thomas house is now complete! Mike started this massive project in August and his work culminated in the insulation of the exterior closet walls on the south side of the house. He left this particular insulation project until last because... it sucks. All of it was nasty and labor intensive, but this involved crawling in and out of the tiny crawl space hole to place the insulation pieces. Mike always told me that he had to do the work himself, because you couldn't pay anybody to do it - at least to do it right.
He was blessed to have Thad Nelson as his handy assistant for the project. Thad caringly cut the pieces and handed them in to Mike "in the hole". They worked from 8am until 8pm - and the insulation project is officially complete. It is a big house, and I am learning that a well insulated home will be much more energy efficient.
We also decided that this project might be one of the very few things that Mike's massive weight loss was good for... Could you crawl through that tiny little hole in the wall?
