Olive and Graham's


No, HelpX is not all good experiences... This is a prime example. Kathy is seen here shredding old coffee news papers to use as insulation to stuff in this wall. Simple enough, but very boring, and putting the shredded paper into bags and stuffing them into the wall was very cumbersome... The worst part is that there was a leaky wood burning furnace in this room that basically coughed soot all night. Our bedroom was right next door, and guess what we coughed up all night.... yes, soot. We left the next day.


Trying to get bags of shredded paper to stay in the wall is not so easy...

What a jumble of crap! Kathy and I actually managed to insulate and sheet rock this whole wall by the end of our one day there. One step in the right direction, but it's all that we could take here...
