The construction guys got here at 9 am and have been working in the attic, getting it ready to have insulation blown into it.
I fell asleep while listening to them bump around in the ceiling. 
I woke up and they were tiptoeing around my bed to reach the attic access in my bedroom closet. 
I don't know how long they'll be here today but I was glad to see they were taking breaks from being up there. I'm sure the attic is hot.
They also set up a small pavilion in the front yard for their machinery and hoses. One guy is drilling holes in the outside walls and the other guy is guiding the hose to blow in insulation.
Hopefully, they'll be finished with our house soon. They only have to replace the old storm windows all the way around the house when they finish with the insulation.

Why? I'm not allowed to help them and I'm still sick.

@wolfgirl569 They didn't have to be quiet. I never asked them to and they were banging away in the ceiling above me.

One of them dropped a board on the edge of my bed... I rolled over to see what happened... He wasn't laughing but I told him it was okay.

Nice of them to try to not wake you. I'm like you: when I know who's here and what they're doing, I'll go back to sleep. I slept through the furnace installation, and I slept through a lot of the roof installation as well!

@DaddyEvil — if they were in the house that would be different. Working outside, I just went back to sleep.

@FourWalls At least one of them is always in the house and the other is in and out.

I was exhausted and I knew Pretty was still awake, even if she did have her bedroom door closed all day. I don't really like people being in and out while I'm sleeping.

@DaddyEvil - I am so sorry. I am a very bad sleeper, I have always been. I often go to bed exhausted and get up even more exhausted.

@LadyDuck Thanks... I used to be exhausted before I went to sleep and after I woke up but then started using the CPAP machine. I normally sleep well even if I am easy to wake up... I hope they're done in my bedroom. I want to go to sleep without someone in and out of it... They can always talk with Pretty if they need one of us.

It's easy to sleep when I'm exhausted. I'm still not feeling okay from whatever bug I caught, too.

I wish they wouldn't keep taking days off during the week and just get it all done.

@Traceyjayne The workmen were here today but left early. It's hot but still a beautiful day and they were working inside... We do have the AC running.

Wow! I could use some insulation and new windows. Unfortunately it's almost $3,000 for each window. They are mostly floor to ceiling. I'm so glad they are doing all of that for you. Hopefully they will be done soon.

@LindaOHio They had the money to do everything lined up last fall.

@DaddyEvil I don't get why they didn't replace the doors unless it's because of the cost. That sucks.

That will be a big help on your utilities, I am sure.

I hope so. The electric company just had a meeting about raising the rates.

True... We applied for and got a government grant to cover the costs of weatherizing the house.

When insulation is done you´ll be happy for it. Take it easy. You should be awake during the day while they are there.

I'm not allowed to help them... I'd just feel in their way. Pretty was still awake.

That noise put you to sleep. For me it would be a disturbance.

I'm used to sleeping during the daytime and I was already tired.

They still have at least one more day working on the house. And they're really quiet while they're working.

They've changed a few things that were on the list that they are supposed to do. We'll have to ask about that tomorrow.
