Tyson finally finished the attic foil on Tuesday morning, shortly before the installation company came out to install the new
insulation and seal the ducts. They didn't actually end up sealing the ducts, I don't know if we misunderstood what they were going to do or what, but they did seal all the leaks around the vents where cool air could leak into the attic. We had 29% leakage of cool air before they sealed everything, and now we're down to 8%. I don't know how much more effective the new insulation is than the old (except that we have more of it), but it sure looks cleaner. If that's any indication, I give it an A+. :P




We had the cable company come out yesterday and install new cable wire so that we could switch our
internet service from
DSL to cable. Our service is almost twice as fast, at half the cost. You can't beat that. Tyson spent half of this morning running the cable in the attic and trying to push it down into an interior wall where he's going to install a cable jack. The installer would have done it yesterday for an additional $75, but Tyson said "No thanks, I'll do it myself."
Now I have blazing fast
internet and Tyson won't have to crawl around in the attic for anything anytime soon.
Here are some new layouts by
Amber spotlighting my Spunky Girl and Stars & Stripes Forever Kits.
