Lorie inspects the insulation installation in a warm main level!
This week the installation of the insulation was accomplished. We went with a loose cellulose fiber blown in. We had three bids, fiberglass bats, dry loose cellulose, and wet cellulose. We elected to go with the dry loose cellulose. Slightly better R value and no need […]

Fire! Fire on the Ridge!
Saturday, January 26th, 2008I am unable to sing Fire on the Mountain not because I am a bad singer (I am), but because there are no mountains in Wisconsin, certainly none in the Fox Valley.

Electric Meter!
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Another fuzzy shot. This service is already being put to use, oh great two electric bills.

Double Hung & Cross Ventilators!
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007You see Lorie dancing in front of the master bedroom main window. This is a set of double-hung windows mulled together. We have another window in the bedroom .
This second window is also a single double-hung unit. Now, in my experience most people prefer the look of casement windows and as you may have noticed […]
