Attic Access

I finally screwed a piece of plywood over the attic access hole in the ceiling.  There's been a thick sheet of plastic over the hole for years and I figure the plywood (with some weather stripping) can only improve the thermal insulation.

Ceiling Fan

I installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom over the last couple of days. The goal is to move more air around the room in the winter to equalize the temperature (on the floor) and hopefully get less mold growth. The three-year-old wanted to come up into the attic space, but I had to tell him no.  He likes the ceiling fan... especially turning it on and off via the pull chain.

The area above the ceiling fan has between 18 and 24 inches of space to work in. It was very cramped. I tied into the electrical at the point where I had worked on the bathroom heater (so that was kind of easy).
