The vegetable garden is on hold; a dog bit our contractor!\u00a0 No kidding, Gary texted this AM with the report a Boxer got him in the ankle, and it got infected.\u00a0 Gary is OOC for three days!\u00a0 Damn, just when progress was being made!<\/p>\n

The insulation folks showed up at 8:30 AM, right on time.\u00a0 Mary assisted me in removing about 200 feet of unused cable (old TV twin-lead, old alarm system cables, and old telephone cables.\u00a0 She kept me from having to go in and out of the attic many times!\u00a0 She also got an assortment of tools I needed, including steel wire.<\/p>\n

The crew showed up and worked a few more hours prepping the attic; they placed boxes over the lamps to ensure they would not overheat.\u00a0 The job was nicely done; Home Depot, you are our hero!<\/p>\n

The can lights were spaced appropriately so the insulation would not cause overheating.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mid-morning, we got a text from the kids; they were boarding their ship to Alaska!\u00a0 We miss them and plan to call Nick to see if we can take him out while they are gone.<\/p>\n

Did you hear about the red cruise ship and the blue cruise ship that crashed into each other at sea?\u00a0 All the survivors were marooned.<\/p>\n

The kids are in Alaska; we miss them!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A sea of blown-in insulation.<\/p><\/div>\n

Thanks to Joe, the verticle walls are well insulated!\u00a0 The heat in the attic is drawn out because of the fans Joe installed last year.\u00a0 He is so cool!<\/p>\n
