2011, 5 Down 7 to Go.

Wow, 5 months have gone by. What have we done?
Well, we reinsulated the house. Which included putting insulation on the headers in the basement, sealing the all the holes with expanding foam. But the biggest, hardest,dirtiest job was adding blown insulation to the attic. This was a huge job, which involved crawling around and insert vents in between the trusses. I am very happy to have had a friend helping me with that and feedi.g the machine as I was blowing the insulation into the attic. I added about 13-14 inches to the previous 4-5 inches. My goal was to get to R-50, which was done
We also got our furnace relaxed and relocated. We also got a new water heater which is high recovery and more efficient. No more running out of hot water when the house is full.
May was a busy month with the opening of the trailer. We moved to a new site last year. We are in a new section where no one had ever setup camp before. So our first visit was a bit surprising. Our trailer had gotten out of level. So we spent a bit of time releveling it. Our deck had done the same thing. Now we are ready to enjoy a summer of.fun at the trailer.
