Big White Monster.

We have a propane tank!  It's great news because it will keep me warm and toasty; however, I call it the Big White Monster - for obvious reasons.  I would have put it in the woods if possible; however, the propane company wouldn't be so thrilled about that for installation or at filling time.  So, the guys placed it in the best possible place, hidden from most views, so that's perfect. 

In other news: the entire house is now insulated, both blown and batting.  Bonus: since we changed the ceiling from vaulted to flat, we used that portion of insulation for the garage.  That will be such a luxury, having a less-than-freezing garage!  The gorgeous front door is installed - and is as lovely as I imagined it would be.  Next week, the drywallers come...quite anxious for that!  Consumers has been out and staked out the line to the house-just now need to get it run and we'll be able to get some heat and lights.

The photos of the insulation probably aren't all that exciting except for one thing: the windows and doors now really stand out as the only openings in the walls and you can really see what they'll end up looking like. 

Next week is another travel week for me, so I'll have to depend on my lifeline of texted in-process pictures.  Not only will the drywall be a great surprise to come home to; we meet with the kitchen designer on Friday to finalize kitchen and bath selections - exciting!
