Insulation

Insulation has been the only real point of difference between Russ and Jim. (I was about to say the only point of contention, but that would be wrong.)  Jim won that one, partly because we were nervous about having him supervise a process that he doesn't like.  Anyway, here's the insulation going in:

Here's the outside - lots of rotten trim to be replaced:

New tub for the kids. Nice and deep.

Skylight!  All the sheetrock for the third floor will be brought in through this opening, then the balcony skylight will be put in.  I had not thought about what the view would be (though I'm sure other people did). Am very grateful not to be looking directly into someone's bathroom.

Carpet torn out.  Two steps forward, one step back.

 

 

Here's the beautiful box that Jim built to hold the TV.  I took one look and said, "Are you sure it's going to fit?"  There was some back and forth between Jim and David, and they concluded that it would - by force of will.  If it's exactly centered, there should be a whole 1/8" to spare.  Maybe.
