Slideshow of walls going up!

Ok, I can't seem to get this slide show embedded here, so I'll just give you all the link to the slide show on Photobucket. Here, you'll see a progression of the walls going up. It took only one day! They started putting walls up at about 9:20am, and the last one was set at 4:00pm!

Here's the link! http://s698.photobucket.com/albums/vv350/SuePerIdeas/?albumview=slideshow

You can see on a couple of the pictures, but not well, they used a strap with a big ole razor sharp arrow on each end to grab the wall sections and pull them together to get a tight fit, and then they would nail the two panels together. This is what gives an air-tight fit between the panels. That, and some weather stripping put between panels! Can you believe something so simple as that?! We have been in the house recently, and even on colder days, I'm amazed at how warm it feels already!

I'll be back to post more pictures, soon!
