Things are moving along quickly. In the last several days, I managed to get the room ripped out right down to the stud, which revealed a few interesting finds. Since then, the room has been insulated. It only took 2 days. That’s dripping with sarcasm in case you couldn’t tell:

Along the way, I managed to seek extra help in the insulation process:

And she's happy to let everyone know that she's the boss. Trust me.
I had ceiling lights installed. 6 in total:

And I had a dumpster delivered and ran around the house feverishly trying to find stuff to fill it with:

Any chance we could put the rest of what's in the garage in here too? We (he!) has so much stuff that needs to go.
I’m exhausted.
