An end in sight...

I love my husband and I'm so glad that he likes to do the projects that we want done on our house, it really saves us money and gives him experience. BUT. He usually does the main part of the project and then leaves the "touch up" parts to be done "later". And usually... later never comes.

Tonight I'm excited though, because we have a friend who is going to be helping us finish all those little things and also help us with our upcoming big projects. He's been having a hard time finding work right now and we would really like to get some of these projects completed, so we're hiring him to help us out and we feel good knowing that it's helping him right now, too. Paying him will be worth it because there is just no way we'd be able to realistically finish everything that we'd like to have done. Ryan just doesn't have the time or experience to do it all, but our friend does - he has both! So, it's looking like things are finally gonna get moving around here.

First up: Insulation. Ryan bought enough rolls of insulation to lay under the flooring of our house but he hasn't had the time (or strong desire) to crawl down there and tack it up. But our friend is coming Wednesday morning to get started on it. We also want to add more insulation in the ceiling because there really isn't enough up there right now. I guess we'd better go buy it because he says he'd be happy to do that next. Those two things will really help us save some money in our heating and cooling. :)
