Blown in Fiberglass Insulation

blown-in insulation, fiberglass, SW Collins, toasty warm
Insulation, count em something like 80 bags total of the fluffy white stuff to blow on top of the 6 inch batts we’ve already got lining the ceiling. They blew an additional 12+ inches of insulation into all the attic spaces, sealing everything up and making a very energy...

American Olean, incredible, laminated flooring, Move in date, sunny, Thank You, tile
A lot can happen in three weeks, especially at this point in the game. Let’s see… All the flooring has been laid, the walls repainted, electrical in the house all finished, and as I type this I can hear the hum of the insulation machine in the background. Oh yeah… and… this...

I know… I know… promised you all the kitchen way back on Wednesday, but the appliances didn’t get completely installed until Thursday, and well, I had a little trick up my sleeve for this weekend. We threw the first annual Chasse eat lots of hot dogs and beans family party...

concrete countertop, incredible, tile, wood forms
I had a pretty cool conversation with an old friend that I’ve known since before high school at the bar New Year’s evening that turned into the most awesome countertop I could have ever wished for! Funny how casual conversation can lead to a few pictures via e-mail,...

Time for More Detail: Bathroom Tile

American Olean, floor drain, rollin shower, Schluter-DITRA, tile
Probably one of the coolest/most technically challenging rooms in the whole house is my roll-in shower. I honestly can’t say I understand why anyone would want to have a shower in their house any other way. Forget about the wheelchair/accessibility challenges and it just...

decorative trusses, electricians, family room, stained trim, tile, wood trim
Judging from my previous, very wimpy post, you’ve probably figured out that my living room is almost all finished, my bathroom is well on its way to being finished, and the kitchen granite countertops have been installed, and most of the electrical is all done. Now on to...

computer, concrete countertop, overview, rackmount, Schluter-DITRA, stained trim, tile, trim
Lousy excuse I know, but I’m finding is so impossible to keep myself away from the new house (especially when the guys are there working), that by the time I get home at night I’ve got an inbox full of e-mails and the rest of my regular life to catch up on that I’m...

American Olean, incredible, tile
My family room is almost all tiled up… and… Wow! What a dang big/fine job. I really wanted to go with something different, out of the ordinary with my family room and decided to go with a very cool 6 x 24″ color body porcelain tile from American Olean. It’s dark lines...

Benjamin Moore, cabinets, incredible, paint, Schluter-DITRA, tile
There’s certainly plenty of things to write about tonight. Pretty amazing that I’m finding it difficult to keep up with the blog because I’m at the house so often, but I feel like a chimpanzee with his first taste of cotton candy. I just can’t get enough...

This is getting so exciting I’m having a terrible time getting anything non-house/non-quadomated done these days. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about how to make everything perfect, and by the time I’m in my wheelchair at 7 AM seems like everything...

Wow! The last few days have definitely created the most dramatic change/WOW factor of the whole job. Yesterday morning things were looking nice, they were coming together, but it was still feeling like, you know, things were coming along one day at a time. Well, snap out of it...
