Our House
I apologize for the lack of updates, but it’s been a busy couple of months. Between Agnes re-launching her photography business’ “brand” and website over Labor Day weekend, a trip up to Columbus to visit my mom, and a bunch of work at the house, I’ve been slacking badly on the blog updates.
So here’s the latest: The place is really starting to look like a real house! We’ve got insulation. We signed a contract with the drywall guy and his crew will be starting on Wednesday.
Instead of doing the slideshow thing I’ll just post some pictures with captions:
1. The duplex door is finally gone! Can you believe they had a cheap interior door in place there before?
2. The inside — freshly insulated!
3. From the top of the stairs.
4. The laundry room
5. Next to the laundry room — from the inside of Agnes’ walk-in closet.
6. Agnes’ walk-in closet
7. The master suite (it’s big).
8. More master suite.
9. Inside the master bathroom.
10. The master toilet room. Eat your heart out, Al Bundy.
11. The other bathroom, the one with a tub.
12. Bedroom 1 — this will be Agnes’ office.
13. Another view of Bedroom 1. Check out the floor - we had the closets pulled out about ~2 feet to make them, like, actually useful.
14. Inside Bedroom 2.
15. Downstairs, the main room.
16. Agnes walking from the kitchen (the plywood area) into the dining room. The kitchen will have cork floors (the white boxes sitting behind the trash can).
17. We had the ceiling insulated in the studio/presentation room to cut down on the noise from the sound system. In the center you may be able to see the rough-ins for the ceiling speakers. We decided to go with the Polk Audio speakers after all.
18. The back of the studio/presentation room.

hey ol’buddy
I was over at my sisters the other week and saw your cars parked out front of your house, I didn’t stop because i didn’t hav ethe time but next time I’m over there I’ll knock and say HEY. If you walk out your fron door and go to the first road to the right and and turn to Myra then turn left my sisters house is like the 2 or 3 rd on the right after you turn on Myra.
How did you come out on the poker games? Ben 7 I went to lunch and he said he was headed over to play with y’all one friday or saturday a week or so ago. He said he didn’t lose too much. ha ha. Hope all is well, Oh yeah, I had one thought on the insulation - Is it without damper paper? Because I thought the damper paper side was to go to the side of the wall that was going to be cooled or heated? but if it’s w/o damper paper I guess it doesn’t matter. Also, I think you get a tax credit if you spend over $500 on insualting your home - so I hope you kept your receipts. CYA.

The insulation is unfaced R13 fiberglass batts. We save all our receipts, so I’m looking forward to a bunch of credits this year thanks to the insulation and tankless water heater!
Sadly my poker skills have slipped since my Las Vegas adventure (where I basically broke even). It’s always a good time, so if you and the wife are interested we can put you on the list for the next one (TBD, maybe in a few months?).
Thanks for stopping by.
