Turkeys in the Straw

The insulation process is nearly complete.  The ceiling is stuffed with ten bales of GreenFiber cellulose, courtesy of Lowe's and their blower:
We highly recommend this for your next family fun night.
The rigid foam in the walls has been reinforced with 3" of packed straw, held in place by pig panel stapled to the studs:
Our own personal harvest party.
Most excitingly, the back of the truck is framed in and the door hung at last.  Bob plans to cover the plywood using the piece of aluminum that he cut out of the side of the box for the double doors. 
Maxon, maxoff.  Did I mention that the box came with a lift included?
The net result of all this is that the stereo sounds way, WAY better in there than it ever has before :)  It also means that we have a more acoustically-insulated space in which to cut the aluminum siding, a process that sounds more or less like the world is crashing to an end.  Bob restricts his super-noisy activities to daylight hours on weekdays, but all the same, the neighbors will probably be glad to see the back of us.
