Another Day of Destuction

Did you like my blog title today? I figured I would use that after watching mom and Mr. Karate kicked, punching and using their heads! to break the sheetrock up so they could throw it away. At least it wasn't mom using her head, but Mr. Karate. Silly man!



Anyway, all the insulation in the picture is gone, replaced by new insulation. The previous owners had used R11, 3-1/2" thick insulation. Mom used R19, 6-1/4" thick. Mom also fixed the big gaping holes they left between the joist going out into the eaves! Talk about silly people.


Mom has to get the sheetrock and then Mr. Karate and Dad will help her install it next weekend. It will be 10' long, so it will not be a one person job. Mr. Karate enjoyed the staple gun while putting up the insulation. Mom should have taken his picture when he held it up and blew on the end (like a smoking gun.) Instead, she said, Don't staple yourself! He just laughed and said "Yeah, really."

Wow, what a job! Looks like you did a great job snoopervising, Roxy.

Thanks for making sure our names were included on the quilt for Sprout. We were devastated by the news when we came back from vacation. What an incredibly sad week. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sprout's family.

"Mr. Karate Does Dillon"-that would have been a sight to see! So, were there any interesting critters behind the old sheetrock? Or sniffs?

Your Mom person must not know about this recent invention called a sledge hammer. It's useful for tearing stuff up :) And keeps your head safe.

You did a great job snoopervising! I do not think Mom and my Daddy would have had fun doing that.
