Home Update : 2025-Nov-28

A fair bit of activity last week. Two loads of firewood was delivered and then stacked.

Throughout the early part of the week I continued closing in the ceiling cavity for the blow-in of insulation. The outer layer of wall insulation was finalized throughout the structure and the inner layer was placed on the upper portion of the gable end walls.

Wednesday evening I set up the scaffolding for the insulation installers. They arrived Thursday afternoon and after a couple hours had completed the job. I should have about R60 in the ceiling.

Before dismantling the scaffolding, I opened the windows to help clear the air. Once everything was cleared away, a fire was started and two hours later it was ~20° throughout the space.

On Friday I moved my futon over and have been sleeping there since.
