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.

It was one of the hotter days on Friday - mid 90s - which is a laugh after what we endured in Durham, but as you can imagine after working in a room with
insulation of all things, we were a little sweaty. So we decided to head to our favorite water hole - Mascoma lake. It's a beautiful freshwater lake that's only a ~7min drive from our house, located in a quaint little town called Enfield.

After dinner, we drove back and then walked to Dairy Twirl, which is a walk-up soft serve/ice cream shop that's busy all hours, 7 days a week (busy in Lebanon terms, mind you).

Where's PONG?
ReplyDeletethat food looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteI bet Pong was warbling out the window at neighboring cats. He doesn't like leather, anyway. Also, on a side note, Pong is losing weight from running all over the big house!
