Nearly every Sunday, we head out to the house after church. We can wander around without worrying about tripping on ladders or extension cords. We don't get in anyone's way. The kids can climb on the scaffolding without anyone yelling at them (!).

The latest development out there is the spray foam insulation. There is purple-ish foam everywhere. 8000 pounds of it.

2. It stabilizes the framing. Cool.
3. (my personal favorite) It keeps out unwelcome critters. Yahoo!! I admit, we had a vole problem before. Still gives me the shivers.

Will was a little disappointed that the inside isn't as beautiful as the outside. : )
