Baby it's WARM down here!
And here is after he was done. What a difference - it is SO warm down here now!
Now we can actually start building interior walls and framing everything. Can't wait to get Drew back in his bedroom. Poor kid has been sleeping in Niki's pink room for about 18 months now.

Step #953 insulating
Well it's now November and the walls have finally been insulated - but that was a painful process. (Isn't everything?)
We had to move everything ( AGAIN) to the center of the basement and cover it all up. Then we hired a local guy to come in and spray the insulation in. The day he was scheduled to come do it, the foam would not stick to the cement. We don't know if it was too cold or too dirty or what .... But he ended up having to prime it with some really smelly primer stuff which then had to dry for two days. Luckily Drew had a hockey game that night so we were able to air out the house for the evening. (Our team won 13-2)!!
So almost a week later, he came back and this time the foam stuck and he was done in a couple hours.
These pictures are before the spray.
