Why do I have to wear gloves?

I tried to use some blow in insulation without gloves. Here is what my hand looks like after I tried to wash in gas and soak in water. I guess I will have to wait until the layer of skin peels off.

update

The door and window are now mounted. This has allowed the inside to be heated by the stove. I really wanted to finish the siding but it is not a priority as it is not necessary for the move in date.

The east gable end is now insulated and gyprocked. Now is the time for paint. The seams will get covered by some window trim.

I wired in a 3 way switch for the loft. This will allow a person to control the light from upstairs and downstairs. This process took a few days to complete because of my limited knowledge of 3 way switches.
