Well it's Sunday night and we beat the "big storm" home. We went up this weekend and finished the insulation work, and preparation for the wood paneling. We did about 1/2 of it last week, and this week was the other half, plus all the little filler, plus cleanup, and the last two were definitely time consuming.
We worked all Friday afternoon, and into the early evening while it rained. The rain melted almost a foot of snow, and we ended up with a little water in the garage, mostly because there was a significant ice build up near the door. This seems to happen, because the driveway gets plowed, the the snow on roof falls down and sits and melts and freezes. Come spring we need to re-grade the driveway a little more I think.
Saturday we went back to work in earnest, seeing the daylight at the end of the tunnel. After 3-4 hours, there was just a little left to do, so we took a break-for a quick 50 mile ride. Down to the gas station to top off, up through North Danville, and up to the scenic overlook near Cole's Pond. It was a much clearer day than a few weeks back, and offered some excellent views of the Presidential Range of the White Mountains
After a ride to clear our heads, and enjoy a little Vermont countryside, it was back to work, taking care of the final touches, and cleaning up the mess.
Finally we brought the futon upstairs and assembled it, so we wouldn't have to bring it up after the new wall and door have been put in place.
Finally everything is done.... For now :-)
