During this cold winter, we are still saving to apply spray foam insulation in the house. At R-7, just one inch of it will bring us to the insulation level of our 12x16 cabin! We will be filling the wall cavities in one way or another but I think that the comparison gives a little perspective...
Jane is thinking about trying to do some more chainsaw milling; perhaps to make some siding out of the logs which were previusly going to be used as sill logs. Gotta get the saw prepped and ready though. Here, Jane is cleaning the air filter in a Ziploc baggie with dish soap and warm water. This is by far the easiest and least messy way to clean these things.
