Insulation Mania

 We were so thrilled that the wiring is all finished and we passed the electrical inspection! Thanks to David's Dad and friend Vaughan!!! It was close. The guys had planned to come on Saturday April 16th to finish everything (officially this time, after three other full days of driving up and working) but amazingly their schedules worked better to change andcome on Friday, April 15. Just in case you ever wondered, the electrical inspector (somebody different than all the other inspectors) only comes to Muskoka on Fridays. Last Friday was Good Friday so we would have been waiting two weeks for an inspection and stuck without being able to move on. The inspector showed up just as David's dad was hooking up the meter base so David gave the inspector a tour of the house and everything was done just in time, a little close, but just in time! We are SO thankful for their help! They did a fantastic job! (Notice all the pretty electrical boxes that have been taped around.)

 Our life as progressed to insulation. I've actually enjoyed insulation (as long as you wear long sleeves and gloves).
 Tuck taping (the red tape) is even more fun than insulating.
Our whole upstairs is now insulated and has vapour barrier! The downstairs will hopefully be finished tomorrow.

These bags of insulation are no longer there. They have been expanded to 17x themselves and blown into the attic. Our ceiling looks like it's full of cotton candy. (You're jealous aren't you Stacy. =])
