Let The Cleanup Begin

Katherine and hubby from Yellow Rose Arbor left after visiting for a couple of days, I will post about that later, so I thought I'd best get busy taking down the Christmas decor.

If you will remember I had to get much of it down myself, due to hubby's surgery. I wanted to make things a little more accessible for both of us so I suggested we insulate some eaves and store them in there rather than up in the attic. It would be much easier to access but the eaves were too hot in summer and too cold in the winter. I decided to try my hand at putting in some insulation and organizing all the outside decor and the garland that was on the banisters inside of the house. Yes, hubby lent a helping hand.

I was off, first to Lowe's then to Walmart for some tubs.

Here's the insulation that comes in a roll. Here's the eaves before.

Here's part of it afterwards.

I'm using a stapling gun to put it up.

Only one minor wound. No, it wasn't the stapling gun, it was from an xacto knife while cutting the insulation to fit.


A few hours later and it was all done. Hubby hurried to get all the outside decorations down and I helped him with some of the inside and stored it in our new tubs.

This is so much easier, neater and cleaner. Tomorrow we start the decorations inside that we store in the garage.

The large tub is on wheels and is easy to put in and pull out. I'm all for making life easier, aren't you?

Many of you are probably all done and back to normal. I hope to join you by the end of the week. Whew, this is a lot of work, but it was so pretty while it was up.

I hope you're having a good week. See you in a few.
