I’m late on this house update because it is not as obvious as other improvements, but probably the most important (after the well).

We had about 15k of insulation added to the house. Foam sprayed onto the basement/sill plate, and some attic locations.

This is part of the blown in insulation for the attic and walls. I think this might about half of it. The calculations say it will save us about 2k a year in heating costs!

Finally, you may have noticed the rock-solid basement foundation. A former geologist’s dream to have a granite foundation instead of cement block or limestone!

I feel like a broken record with the snow, but it’s what is happening!

The view out the front door.

There is a picnic table  under the snow – showing the depth in the backyard.

A few weeks ago, I took this day off to spend some time with Linda on her day off and the day before Valentine’s Day. Well, being that it will take a good portion of the day to dig out, even the best made plans…

There is a good 3-4 feet of snow across the front yard – about up to the top of the porch railing. There’s not many more places for it to go. We’ve lost the mailbox at this point.

Let the work continue. This is Martin’s third snow day in a week.
