New stuff in July

 Here's some guy with a very sophisticated tool belt on the world's narrowest runway. The pneumatic stapler used to attach the sheet for the cellulose fiber insulation was super helpful.

 I spent my Sunday and Monday packing cellulose fiber insulation into this dinosaur (made in 1996). I was told that I would get a discount for assisting the insulation installer.

 Though I wore a dust mask, it's not enough. I wrapped a towel around my face later and it made a huge difference. You should have seen the other guy (the installer). He was covered in installation. My son described the whole process as "making dust".

 My view in the beast.

 A hose ran from the machine in the back of the truck to where ever in the house. Humidity was high at the time and the insulation didn't pump as smoothly as it could have.

 Here's the view from the back.

 The interior is mostly insulation and gyproc. It's anyone's guess when we'll plaster the walls.

 The ceiling promises to be a difficult plaster. It's looks nice anyway. The potlights/downlights will be next week.

 Here's the future classroom. The alcove on the right will be my office.

 The exterior concrete pad is slightly angled inward and rain has a tendency and seep in...

The insulation installer took me under his wing and allowed me pump insulation in this section of the wall. I can honestly say it is way harder than it I imagined.
