- Installed the vent fan ducting and roof vent
- finished insulating the garage wall above the bedroom
- installed and insulated the attic access door for that end of the house
- got a couple pieces of wall insulation in the bathroom.
- took out the Living Room forced air wall heater that Sam kept playing with and found a 4 line electrical junction in the wall with just wire nuts holding it all together, no box. Nice huh. Mike Holmes says this is not a good idea!
- picked up everything yesterday and vacuumed since it was getting a little messy in there.
- Oh, and I fixed the sprinkler head I ran over with the mower and broke off; as well as removing a 6 inch strip of the grass that runs along that sprinkler head so that I don't risk hitting it again.
Things that I am stuck on:
- Does it matter if cellulose blown-in insulation is up against the roof sheeting? Do I have to allow for some kind of air brake in each rafter cavity or just the vented ones?
- How to insulate the water pipes that go through the corner of the house where it is going to be hard to pack insulation in around, especially considering if I have to leave a air space below the sheeting
- What do I do with the electrical line that is coming from somewhere in the house (haven't been able to trace it yet) that is just hanging unconnected over the bedroom?
- Should I install the gable vent fan before I get the bathroom closed up so I can access it a little easier... should I be putting that above the main living area?
- How to insulate the vaulted ceiling the best way so I get the best R-value and less gaps and ghosting on the rafters.
- Am I really going to have to run a new electrical line to the Living room to correct #5 accomplishment?
- Why do I keep making lists of things to do, ordering them and then not following the plan?

You're a busy man! All of this bits and pieces of electrical stuff must be disturbing. It is a wonder somebody hasn't been hurt with the way things were put together. I'm glad you're doing it right. Call Dad and ask some of those questions (choir tonight).
