Looking good B-man!

I was excited to hear my garage heater fire up for the first time today, sounds like a jet engine warming up. I also timed it, 18 minutes to go from 33 to 60 degrees, I'm stoked. Now to finish the sheetrock and insulation.

I should look up what mine takes to run and maintain some heat 3 or 4 days a week. I have a 35k BTU heater and before I insulated the roof of the garage the attic would be about 80deg and the floor about 40deg. Now with 80% of the walls insulated and the attic insulated 100% with only 3" of insulation and a box fan to move air the garage will maintain a balmy 65deg no problem. With a outside air temp of 10 or above it only takes about 1 hour for the temp rise to workable levels, when its below 0 it can take up to 2 hours and the heater runs A LOT more then when its a little warmer out side.

Carpet mod has begun. Kinda upset because they were supposed to do the level shown, and all the stairs today. But decided they could only do this level today, so the stairs are all still bare wood.

But oh well. I love the carpet, so much nicer than the old stuff. I have a couple little discrepencies I'll have to run past him when they come back to finish up. But overall, man what a difference. It's called frizee and the color is called Rocky Road.

Also decided to setup my furniture a hair different than it was before. Here's some pics :)

Nice Halon!. I too just put in new carpet upstairs, in the second and third floors as well. I love it and I also got new large sectional for the 3rd level. My main room to get done now is the 4th level where the home theatre is being constructed! I cant wait until its done.

Looks nice B!

Having the furniture like, really opens up the space more.
