Moving on up....

November 18, 2011

Before I move to the inside of the house, I wanted to discuss some shenanigans that have apparently been occurring. Apparently, the bat that was residing in our attic has been in there since the insulation was sprayed (OK, so maybe there are some assumptions here). Regardless, Eric and Alok found a bat in the attic. So, Eric climbed up on a ladder and shop-vaced it up. Today, I arrived to find the bottom part of the shop-vac in the yard, as seen below. It was empty. The bat probably escaped so he could properly re-enter his (I mean our) home.



In good news, the drywallers have been hard at work. The first floor is pretty much hung and the mudding has begun. Here it is:

This wasn't drywalled, but is a nice storage area ;-)

Now onto the 2nd floor, which is still wall-less:


Insulation in the bedroom closet that looks like it's waving (it needs to be stapled)

Now up in the attic, which now has a floor!

That's all for now.
