Insulated attic of garage and flooring...

The garage of my place is relatively new and the walls are all insulated and sheetrocked, but the attic wasn't insulated. The ceiling was sheetrocked and has attic steps to it, and make-shift flooring, but I removed all of the old flooring and insulated the attic and putting in rafter vents for ventilation and redid the floor with some sheeting that was left in the garage and some new.

Attic door and the 75,000 BTU ceiling furnace.

Attic steps down.

Insulation, rafter vents, and going across the rafters, close to the eave is the gas line (black).

Three quarters of it done, I just have 4 sheets of plywood to install.

Welcome back Daisy...

Daisy was about 6 months old in the Summer of 2000 when she moved to our place in Michigan. In the Summer of 2010, Daisy moved to Buffalo, Minnesota, but this summer, Sydney Beth moved into an apartment and Daisy could no longer stay in Buffalo.

In order for Daisy to move with me, I had to finish fencing in the backyard.

Before:

After:

And install a "doggy door" into the garage.


And here is Daisy in the backyard in her new gated community :).

After having cake at the care home, we traveled to the cemetery where my dad was buried a year ago, in 2010. My dad resided in the care home with my mother for about 9 months, before God called him home. Dad, I miss you and I love you!
