We purchased the mineral wool in 2 inch thickness and 1.5 inch thickness. The original bedroom walls are 1.5 inches thick and we made the walls thicker by another 2 inches for extra insulation. This means we need two layers of insulation in the bedroom.

Our post from January 26 talked about us working on the kitchen floor beams and sub-floor. Since then we've worked on a variety of things and finally came back to actually finishing the sub-floor.

Have we mentioned that Tybee is a hoot? Really dogs in general are just great to have in your life because they are inhibited, honest, and kind-hearted. While Tybee and Tyki haven't bonded in the sense that they lay around the house having to touch one another or share sticks to chew on or anything of that sort.

We took several days off from working on the RV. On the 24th, I suggested we make sugar cookies and I was surprised when Jerud and Andrew actually spent more than 30 minutes on them! I also didn't realize that it was Jerud's first time ever making sugar cookies. We used holiday cookie cutters, but the cookies themselves weren't all holiday themed...
