This morning we awoke to snow gently falling across the landscape. We are beginning to wonder if Spring has been cancelled this year and nobody told us.
Yesterday the insulation for the attic arrived. We opted to have 12" of cellulose blown in to the house and 7" blown into the garage. That gives us an R-38 rating for the house, an R-20 rating for the garage, and completes the insulation process. I'm not going to miss all that itching and coughing one bit.
In between the rain showers and the snow, I have begun removing the piles of dirt created when we dug out the pad for the foundation. My goal is to restore the natural contour of the hillside around the house, leaving a small flat area outside the basement entrance. I am using my tractor's front bucket and rear blade to do the work, which is slowly beginning to produce the desired results. It would be nice to have a small dozer for this, but I haven't been able to justify the expense of buying one.
The drywall installation is finally finished, and we will mask off the doors and windows today in preparation of priming and texturing the walls and ceiling.
