One of the miracles of science...

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it with my own two eyes but Tyvek HomeWrap by DuPont is one of "the miracles of science". Wow! Now that may or may not be the case but I can tell you that the stuff is a pain in the neck to wrap a house with if your stapler decides not to cooperate... It's slippery and unwieldy. The mad scientists at DuPont cut it to a length which puts the top just out of arm's reach but it's not tall enough to cover the whole side in one pass... Oh well, least it's done (mostly...)

There's Norman "helping" me....
And here are the windows which we hope to be installing before the end of the week.

I guess we would have to admit that we've been a little lax regarding working on the addition lately. Getting a roof on the thing really took a lot of pressure off - maybe a little too much... We have done some stuff - we rerouted the furnace exhaust (which had been venting into Jesse's bedroom - thankfully, we caught that before we ran the furnace (too much...)), Grace also drew out all of the interior walls as well as bathroom fixtures and our bedroom furniture on the floor using sidewalk chalk (- kind of cool to see...)
Next time I hope to show you windows - installed!!!
