Filling in the Holes

First, some deer.
IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE
But wait, there's more! 
But wait, there's even more!  Can you spot them?  (There's three!)
Back to our regularly scheduled blogging.

Baby, it's cold outside.
Deadly icicles!
OOOoooooooOOOOOOOoooooooo.
Milly went through 400 gallons of propane in a month due to lack of insulation+missing drywall+negative Fahrenheit record low temperatures.

We've been in a rush to fill holes.  Figuratively and literally!

Plugging the wire holes in the studs so the mice are thwarted!
I hear drywall compound is tasty.  I believe everything I hear.
Fire-caulking between the floors.  That's a lovely red!
Gotta protect those wires.  Home builders from days of yore, take note!  These stud plates are meant for wires too, not just plumbing!
Cutting the insulation like BUTTAH.
Those tricky holes.
Time for a work break!  It's hard to concentrate when you're itching all over.
I found an awesome app for freeeeeeeeeeeee! (Well, you can use it for free, but have to pay for additional objects and exporting.)  It's called MagicPlan and it's the most intuitive floor planner I've used, because SketchUp is beyond what my tired mind is able to comprehend.



Executing the MagicPlan! (All things previously on our list, but now are done with PURPOSE)
Bathtub?
GONE!
Toilet?  Really heavy... going, going... heavy...
GONE!
Flimsy tub spout?  GONE!  With minimal help from us!
Drywall between the two bathrooms?  GONE!
No styrofoam?  I am disappoint.   But it's also GONE!
Ewwww.... goooey leaky subfloor.  Ewwwwww. 
I guess if the pipe felt tired it can rest in that little nook!
Much progress. Much joy.

And now begins the montage of pictures that no one cares about, but is posted for posterity's sake...
BEHOLD the majesty of our rock wool!
