Another Small Step...

 So a few weeks ago in trying to live in my house year round we did some more work. When the weather is lower 90's or in the 80's I can get the bedroom cool enough to sleep if I put the a/c on when I get home from work by midnight it's cool enough to sleep. I want, make that need, my own place so in trying to make it happen quicker I decided when it got to hot to cool down until 3-4am then I bought enough insulation to do my walls thinking anything would help a little and it did until we hit the upper 90's & then the triple digits. LOL. I have a decent sized window unit but the heat in the rafters is just too much for the unit to keep up with. It worked for a few days and I had to move out and back in with Mom and Dad. This was the end of July because it was my birthday present to myself. LOL

Dad measured & cut the insulation

Mom put it in the spaces

I was the stapler!!! LOL.

Tuesday night I bought a unit that could once totally finished cool my entire house (according to their specs). I doubt it will but I will place my smaller unit in the living room area when we get that end finish. The new big unit is going to have a frame built for it and placed in the bedroom end wall across from my door. Not pretty but functional and that is what I'm about.

I have determined that I am much more country & rustic than I use to realize. LOL. Simple and functional is my goal!!! I search for peace and calm in my home because work & every other area of life is insanely not so. LOL. Somewhere I have to have a place that I can curl up and just take a deep breath and relax. No one to complain or whine, no one to pepper questions at me, just a place I can sit and enjoy the wonderful ME!!! In a couple weeks we will be working again and I'll have more pictures then.

I looked back a couple posts and noticed I haven't posted about the bathroom. ROFLOL!!! You ready for this? I don't have one yet. Instead I'm using a bedside potty (old people kind) and someone referred me to disposable bags that have a product in them to congeal everything and make it where you dispose of it. Not my most favorite place to potty but when nature calls at 3am because you take BP pills with a diarectic (however it is spelled). LOL. It works in a pinch. Then you "wash" your hands with antibacterial wipes and hand cleanser. I don't understand it all myself but I do know the peace I feel in that little unfinished cabin is worth every struggle & trial!!! Someday it will be finished and I'll be proud to say our sweat & blood built it.!!!
