American Thanksgiving HiJinx In Canada

[keithb7]

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Mopar friends.  Hope you have a great time with your loved ones.  Up here we have our Thanksgiving in early October.  The harvest has to done by then else it becomes perma-frost.

 

Mrs and I spent the day blowing-in 26" of new pink insulation in our attic. We went from an R6 to an R50 rating. We did it ourselves. Momma was in the attic running the hose, distributing the fiberglass. I was down on the ground feeding bags into the blower machine. 50 bags and 3 hours later we were done and high-fiving each other.

 

About 1/2 way into the job Momma did mis-step and slipped off a truss. She slammed down through the brand new ceiling drywall she just completed last summer. Now we have a new hole in the living room ceiling for Santa to come down through. She bruised a rib of two but it never slowed her down. She pushed on and we completed the job. I took her out to her favourite dinner later. A nice little reward is in order.  A proper ceiling repair will likely wait until the new year.

Hats off to the lady of the house....congrats are in order for you both.  You hopefully will see a big big difference in the heating bill.  The hole is an unfortunate side effect of progress.

Slap a little joint compund on that hole and call it a day.  The house equivalent of "It'll buff out."
