Things are moving at a fast speed! Fireplace to be installed today.

Mucho insulation, mucho discomfort? Dang, that is a lot of insulation.
Up with the insulation, damn the itchiness.
Electrical done with bonding . . . don't ask. Working with #4 copper and #6 copper is not fun . . . only later to find out I could have used #6 and #8. For those like me, bonding is grounding your gas and water line to the floating ground in the subpanel. We were also required to ground the "jetted whirlpool" motor. A bit excessive, but anything to please the inspector. And, no, he doesn't take bribes.

Insulation done in bedroom! Not as bad as I thought it would be.
