Since spring made an early arrival this year, my efforts have been dedicated toward working on our house.
I made a wise decision and chose to blow insulation into the walls of the original 1906 portion of our home. Once that was complete, I replaced bad wood around the windows and sealed them tight with expanding foam, window wrap, and silicone sealant.

Then I covered the exterior in 1/4" fanfold foam board and taped the seams to create an additional weather barrier.

After the foam board was done, I was able to put up my new vinyl siding.
While I was putting on siding, a crew was getting my garage floor ready to pour concrete.

I came home from work one Friday to see that my new concrete was poured and floated out, ready to cure.

The work on my house is taking me a long time.
I work 50 hours each week at my job, and can only work on my house in little slivers of time, which gets really frustrating. But I am moving forward regardless, and I will post an update later. Thanks for viewing my post!
