Monday the 9th was insulation day! Yahoooo...we're moving along. We opted for a newer version of insulation. Some call it the 'wet method', but actually it's known as 'foam insulation' or 'foam insealation for life' like the contrator we used says. Obviously yes it costs more up front, but we are hoping to recoup those costs in energy savings.
We met with our builder last Friday to pick out interior doors, door trim, molding, and wall texture. As you will be able to see in the pictures below the sheetrock has arrived. Within the next two weeks the sheetrock will be hung, doors installed, and walls textured. We remain on target for a completion date of May 31.
The wet foam insulation is blown in and then expands between the studs.
Once the foam sets and hardens the real fun begins. The excess that expanded out between the studs must be removed for the sheetrock to be hung. In this picture he is holding a long saw and will completely saw the foam off using the studs as his guide.
The garage also enjoyed some insulation.
Here is a complete room.
