I think we should have left this job for Mike Rowe!
We take customer service seriously around here. When last weekend's guests in Cabin #17 said they thought it was a bit too warm in the cabin, we did not just write it off to the fact that they might have turned the A/C unit too high on a humid day, causing it to freeze up. Nor did we assume that the fact that they had been outside in the heat all day at the cliffs and were sunburned was the only reason they were warm.
Instead we took action. Off to Home Depot we went for additional blow-in attic insulation made from recycled paper products. The company's marketing department did a great job convincing us that it was environmentally sound, easy to install, and not itchy like fiberglass. We brought home a pallet loaded with 36 bags weighing 21 pounds each, the nifty blower machine they loan you, and 100 feet of hose. (Dear, Greenie Whatever Insulation Co., you might want to mention in the fine print that this stuff is a tad messy.)With help from our new part time maintenance guy Steven, we set out at 8:30 this morning to make the biggest mess out of Cabin 17 possible. (Dear Kirk Family arriving this weekend, don't worry, we're pretty good at cleaning up our messes.)
It took Mindy and me about four hours to vacuum, dust, vacuum, dust, vacuum, and dust until everything was in good shape again. And guess what? It feels cooler already!
