Cellulose on my thighs, my butt.. and in my walls?!

Milestones from last week:
-They began putting the insulation in last week! It is a cellulose insulation which is a better efficiency than the standard fiberglass one used by builders.
-We have corbels on the house. All 31 of them look great!
-A fireplace was installed in the sitting room adjacent to the master bedroom.
-The city inspector did his first inspection on the house. We passed with flying colors! He found nothing wrong. That means that he was either 1) too busy to do a very thorough job and passed the house (not likely in this housing market) OR 2) our builder is doing a great job (this must be the case).

We are looking forward to our private inspection next week, choosing house colors and seeing the drywall go up : )

I was just reading a thing on Icynene (spray on expanding foam insulation) and how it is so much better than fiberglass but like a lot more expensive and how people can't seem to get past the initial high price to see how it will save them money (and add comfort) for years, so KUDOS to you for going with the cellulose.

Did the house survive all the recent bad weather? Everything's fine, right?
