I'm Covered in Tiny Fragments of Fiberglass!

Today's work was, well, an experience. We've begun the tedious process of insulating the shop. What I was doing mostly involved cutting pieces of insulation, opening new packages of insulation (which is actually rather fun, you slit the package with a knife and it expands very rapidly!) and handing pieces of insulation to Dad. I bemoaned the fact that I had not brushed my teeth or put some minty gum in my mouth before donning a dust mask, because it got to smell pretty bad in there. However, it was necessary to wear so that I would not be inhaling tiny fragments of fiberglass (which also ended up all over my clothes, hence the title). I now have fairly decent red marks on the bridge of my nose. However, my respiratory system remains intact, and that's what really matters after all.

Otherwise, the Shack is what it is. Some of our 8th-inch hardboard walls are beginning to come apart around the edges, but we're hoping they won't have to last too too long. The walls in my room get more decorated every day, which is actually quite fun.
