Check!!!

Check, another task is off our list of to do's. Last Saturday, Chris, Tim and Joel put in hours of pumping insulation into the attic of our addition. This meant another trip to Menards and another trailer load of materials coming to the house.

Take a close look at the trailer and you can see that it barely fit into the garage and the silver truck was loaded down with two blowers. There were just as many tow straps to secure this load as there might have been if they were hauling two tons of metal. Looks can be deceiving since the 125 bags of insulation probably weighed less than what was in the truck bed.

Nothing goes as smooth as we hope it would and this job would be no exception. With the intuition to get the two blowers, Chris had hoped to finish the job quicker but a few hours had to be spent de-clogging the hoses and fixing the machines too. I think having 100 feet of hose couldn't have helped the issue either. They got it done and the job was finished around 10:00 at night. Cleaning up took a bit longer and I am grateful for the dumpster because otherwise where would we have put it all. About half of the kids sandbox ended up in the dumpster too but the kids haven't noticed.

The addition is noticeable cooler now in the days since the attic got finished so now we just have to wait on the sheet rockers to get finished so we can get moving again on this long drawn out project.
