It needed some plumbing and electrical work before it could be insulated, and no insulation means no insulation for my mom&#8217;s new bathroom, delaying work there. The laundry room is a tiny add-on (probably a walled in porch) and it&#8217;s always hotter than hell in the summer and colder than hell (I see the paradox already) in the wintertime. I think it was the only room that didn&#8217;t have the rafters insulated recently. When I got home, most of the electrical and plumbing was redone in the room and we&#8217;re only a couple days behind. Even better, the laundry room might be usable by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Woo, it&#8217;s later than I thought.
