Eric is finally finished putting up the shiplap in the living room and office. He wants to put molding up first before we paint it. It looks nice! At the peak of the ceiling, the process took many hours. Eric had to "walk the plank" in order to get high enough up.

This week we put natural insulation in the ceiling above the kitchen. Eric wants to try a create more of a sound barrier. The stuff is basically made up of recycled newspaper. It was very messy. I just hope it doesn't become a new home for critters. We had that stuff all over our clothes, hair, even in our pockets.
Eric also installed new insulation for the kitchen walls. He also filled in the old vent hole and tried to seal any little "holes" he could find to prevent critters from coming in, as well as to better insulate the house.

We have an electrician "slowly" working on the lights and panels in the kitchen. I'm excited to see what it will look like with all of the new "can" lighting. We are thinking we might also put shiplap on the kitchen ceiling....
