Remember when kids used to say "I hung some drywall" along with a list of other manly activities to joke about being manly? I never really got it back then, but this weekend, Dan and I hung some drywall, and I guess I feel manly for it.

Wall Sconce!
We've been visiting this lighting shop near our house, which I call the Lindt chocolate shop because they have a bowl of delicious Lindt truffles sitting out for customers (yumm).

Insulation: the end is in sight
So...we tackled insulation on Friday despite lingering uncertainties as to the
type of insulation. We decided to go with fiberglass (as opposed to blown-in cellulose or foam), because it's the
easiest and by far the cheapest (maybe not the best reason). You have to be very careful to get all the cracks so that required
a lot of measuring and cutting the batting to the right size. You also
have to be completely covered (goggles, mask, long sleeves and pants)
with fiberglass, which gets really uncomfortable pretty fast. After we
put up the insulation, we further covered that with plastic as a vapor
barrier. gah. Hope it's ok.
