This is awesome. Even better I felt like Ty Detmer was doing the walk through.

I've been in the building trades for a long time. I just had to say I feel proud

It will be so nice not having to work until 10:00 every night. Might be my best year

I wish I would have put fiberglass batting in the empty space for sound deadening upstairs.

You can blow loose fill easily. Some big box stores will even rent the equipment
