Insulation hanging at the Duck

I have just come back from 5 days at the Duck...hanging insulation. 10 rolls of insulation...416 feet of insulation. up and down the ladder hundreds of times. and whacked the top of my head on the ceiling joist in the kithcen...ouch!

I like the Johns Manville stuff better....it comes in a whole roll and i can cut off a 10' section to put up in one piece. i had 6 rolls of that.

Then i had 4 rolls of the pink panther stuff...that comes precut...into 8 foot sections. so there will be a lot of cut and paste to finish up the bottom 2 feet.  We won't talk about the sections that are too narrow or too wide for the 15" wide insulation. so, next trip will be a LOT of cutting and pasting to fit those sections....days worth.

And i had to take 1 piece down and move it. i can't hang insulation where the pocket doors go into the wall....i almost screwed up there. good thing i noticed after only hanging one piece.

How do you like my brown leather rocker that i scored at auction? it is very comfy. and there is a regular chair to match. they are pretty heavy. i am going to take the bottoms off and add more padding to the seats. they will live in the living room.

This is my kitchen table and chairs that i scored at auction for $41. has tiles on the top. in pretty good shape. rather heavy. i had to take the legs off to get the table into the house. my doorways were too narrow. will probably paint it later.

And i found this tablecloth at the Salvation Army thrift store for 1.49. someone embroidered that so beautifully that i had to bring it home. it's like card table size so i put it on the table crossways.  and the jar with the blue heart that is on the table is a thrift store find, also.  this might have to be called the Thrift Store Duck. hahahaha

After all that insulation hanging...i HAD to pretty something up....anything....so i painted the laundry room and hung stuff up in there. SOME PART of that house had to look more normal. i'll show you what i did in the next posting...
