Mornin' Bob!

Thanks again for the information.  Now I'm wondering if we should  
insulate THEN put in the HVAC, or put it in first so we can actually  
work in there during the summer.

Great idea about removing some of the planks...assuming I can.  I  
have no way of knowing how long they are.  We were just able to see  
the ends of the rows when Rudy took off some door trim.  I do want to  
open up the dining room to the planks and whitewash them, so will be  
able to see how it's really made then.

That's a GREAT idea to remove the planks from the attic!  I never  
thought about that.  One thing I did think of was removing the  
wallboard on the ceiling so they would show, then sealing that.

We don't really store stuff in the attic here since it's usually so  
hot up there.  Hopefully we'll have plenty of storage space in the  
house itself.  Really.  LOL.  We've spent the last 10 years  
decluttering and downsizing big time and have moved from a 3000 SF  
home, to a 1700 SF, and now to this new/old one, which is really 1421  
SF on the inside.

Now I'm trying to figure out deal with the windows if we add wall  
thickness on the inside.  Something to ponder.

Hopefully the closing will go off without a hitch this morning so we  
can actually get IN there and get busy!  It's already been delayed  
once this week.
