You don't want to know what Mark and the boys did yesterday. Okay, maybe you do. After all, there wouldn't be a Twin Firs Adventure without adventures at Twin Firs.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, Mark and Ami insulated the attic with sheets of twelve-inch insulation. This was done before we lived here, back when Grandad needed to stay toasty and there was no one to build him a fire. Mark didn't know that by stuffing the insulation all the way to the corners, he would block the flow of air into the attic. But now he does.
Mark created those nifty wire cages to hold the insulation down in the corners so air can flow freely. Unfortunately, his helper that fits through the tiny spaces is all grown up with a child of her own. Fortunately, Mark has two more helpers, ready to take the insulation crawling challenge! *shudder*
Unfortunately, IJ just hasn't grown strong enough to really shove those wire cages into the corner. So Mark really did squeeze through that tiny hole (after shaving it a bit with the
Sawzall (y'all)). He must have gained some girth while in there, because he got stuck on the way out. Yep, I was putting Daniel down for a nap when I heard him start to "worry" in the attic...

...Mark escaped without having to saw a bigger hole, but I'm afraid he cracked a rib on the way out. At least he had the sense to wear a mask this time.
