Not exactly toasty, but much more liveable!

The attic insulation is about 2/3 done and with the geothermal heater set between 50 & 55 degrees it's liveable in there. We're thinking we might not need to build the wall  to shrink the space we're heating if we're OK with this modest temperature. If we want to warm it up more we can, but it would cycle all the time to heat 400 square feet. Once the insulation is done it will be pretty good in there without cycling all the time. I don't see my breath in the air anymore and with reasonable clothes for December it's not bad!

Now I'm thinking about some interior decorating type issues. I'd like to hang some art around. The walls are stark, and I'm a painter so I've got plenty of pieces I like that would make it feel more homey. I'm also thinking about carving out an office space in the main living area for myself so I can give my husband the office room I've been using on the first floor. He could really use it, and I think I'd like the chance to push furniture around upstairs. I teach school, so with the winter break coming up I should be able to find time to tackle some of these projects.
