Spring 2006 Shots : Just some shots since we have moved in. The family room is in the process of being painted yellow. The back and front yards are just showing a bit of green now that April is here. And, a few pictures of Barney, our cat.

Attic Insulation Upgrade Project : Our 1974 house came with the original R19 of fiberglass attic insulation. Current building code specifies R38 and the code will likely head up to R45 or so in the new few years. 

We decided to add an additional R30 on top of the original R19 to limit head loss. Insulation was loose cellulose. We now have a literal SEA of insulation up there.

New Home - February 27, 2006 : This is the new home we will be moving into around February 27. It was built in 1974, has had just one owner since then. It's about 3600 SF and is a rancher with a walkout basement. It's pretty much all original with just a few updates. It is in the Golden Hills area of Rockrimmon. So, about 1/2 mile west of I-25 near the Woodmen (#149) exit. 

We plan to update some of the appliances as soon as we move in and then upgrade the remaining original windows by this winter. 

The original owners have done a great job of maintenance and it looks like a new home to us. It has a nice number of BIG rooms as opposed to most new houses which have many more smaller rooms. We like big rooms. It is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 car garage. Has 2 fireplaces -> 1 gas, 1 wood. A nice deck and a small 1/5 acre yard which is fully landscaped. We will more than likely use this as our full time house until we're really old.
