July 25th - wrapping it up

Today we started wrapping the house in one inch thick foam insulation. This is just the first step in making the house energy efficient. There will also be thick fiberglass insulation in the 6" deep wall cavities, plus under the main floor in the crawl space. Even the concrete slab in the living room gets a layer of high density foam insulation under it.

Tonight I walked the trail through the woods to the coop store. (I was out of granola... a dire emergency:) Along the way I took this photo of Hague Lake just before sunset. Today was "Floatopia" on the island in the lake known locally as Turtle Island. Lots of young folk paddle or swim out there for a day of music and whatever kids do these days when their parents aren't around;) It sounded like fun from the shore...
