The weather was finally nice enough that I had enough enthusiasm to venture into the attic and use up the insulation I'd scurried away in small amounts like a squirrel over the last month. Of course, I ran out of insulation and I'm still not done. :P I did, however, put down the first and second layers for a good chunk of it, and the first layer for a bit more. I still have an entire side that needs the second layer and parts that need the first and second layer. This little cavern is the area over my breakfast nook and it had four inches of insulation, so I put down R-25 in it instead of R-19 to bring it up to a foot (of course, a roll of R-25 doesn't cover nearly as much as R-19, so I need another roll of that, too). And, of course, the entire center area of the attic still isn't going to have any, but at this point I'm still not sure what to do about it.

I also finished unpacking the boxes in the basement and set up my extra bookshelves.
