Two weeks ago, this truck showed up at our house.
Cooper cannot get enough of the trucks, tools, and "guys" that are at work in our house. He sat on the front step for probably 15 minutes just watching it all. At 7:00am.
A giant hose was pulled out of the truck and dragged along the side of the house...
...and up through the window, into our upstairs!
The amazing part is that they were here for less than an hour and this is what they left behind:
Insulation!
It looked like cotton candy.
The coolest part was that it almost looked like pink shag carpet, and gave us a feel for what the rooms would feel like with flooring.
We didn't have to wait long to see the real deal, though...
Last week, our framers laid the floor! Wow, what a difference a day (or two or three) makes.
The cozy little nook, which we can now walk into!
Sidenote: I hate when I end a sentence with a preposition. I know it is against the rules of grammar and it irks me. But, seriously... am I going to write, "The cozy little nook, into which we can now walk!"? Lame.
We also now have closets! Well, we have the frames of closets. They will be on either side of the bedroom window.
We also have a tiny linen closet in the bathroom. The door will only be 15" wide! We'll call that "cute", not "cramped". Deal?
After the floor was in, Curtis was able to hang the can lights so that we could choose their exact placement and so that we didn't have to pay the electrician to do it.
He has worked so hard to save us money and has done a really great job with everything he has undertaken!
Since last week, we have also gotten the electrical "rough in" and passed the corresponding city inspection. Tomorrow, the insulation folks should show up to install the wall insulation. Then, early next week will be drywall. Yay!
Are you getting bored with all of this? I understand. I will post some cute kid pics and deep thoughts soon!
