I am sitting in pjs and a t-shirt ON TOP of the covers, and I AM WARM!!!!Gone are these days:
made from basalt and slag.... COOL. Hey, speaking of said insulation, where DOES one put FIFTY-TWO bags, each measuring 4 feet x 2 feet x 1-1/2 feet?? EVERYWHERE!
and these. 
Good-bye to our beloved kitchen chandelier 
(i.e. the only place to hang a light).
(i.e. the only place to hang a light).Speaking of which, I feel as though I am going blind living in this house. We have but TWO wired ceiling lights in the entire house (sans basement). This means that the number of available lights (well, work lights, that is) is solely dependent on where the they were being used that day, and whether I bothered to bring them back. This has provided Alicia with a fine excuse for not mastering her steamed milk techniques (too dark). It has also provided me with many a harrowing trips on multiple extension cord snafus (due to the ever-changing arrangement of EVERYTHING).
No more gazing up at this 
in the morning. Now we have the beginnings of our new fireproof, sound and thermal insulation

And I do mean everywhere. 
Just wait until you see what we do with these in the meantime (tune in soon).
Oh! We had our first REAL snowstorm last Friday. 
Twelve beautiful inches of gorgeous snow (not too cold, not too wet). I had more fun than can be expressed driving in it on several outings that day. It was a true and total BLAST. Yay! I love my Jeep and I love 4-wheel drive! Alicia has yet to attempt to drive on the snow and ice... I've no doubt that with some instruction, practice and confidence, she'll be having a ball, too.

Just getting the gravel in down there was quite a transformation -- and an eight hour day of hard work by two fellows with wheel barrows. It will be a fine day when the arctic blast from below is quelled.
Will post the photos of the boiler with radiant manifolds (I KNOW you're all waiting with bated breath) soon.
