Insulation ... and more Insulation

Luke is an incredibly hard working husband.

Saturday morning Luke left the house at 5:30am. He went to Lowes at 6:00am to rent a machine that blows insulation into walls. The machine is free for only one day with the purchase of 20 bags of insulation. He and his friend Jeremy drilled holes between all the wood studs in the entire house and then blew insulation into them. They did this until church at 7pm. Then immediately after church, they returned to work at the house. Jeremy stayed until 10pm, at which point Caleb Thompson took over as the helper. They worked until 6:30am, just passing the 24 hours mark.

At this point, the holes were all drilled so all they needed to do was have ONE person blow the insulation in. I asked Luke, "What was the second person there for if all the holes were drilled already?" and respond, "moral support!"

Instead of going to sleep, they went to have breakfast at McDonalds because the machine had to be returned to Lowes right when it opened at 8am. Luke took a half hour nap at McDonalds and then returned the machine. He returned to me and the boys at 8:45am.

I am so thankful for such an amazing husband. He has worked so hard at getting our house ready to move into. I am so thankful for him and his work ethic.
