Insulation

We went over to Paul's house today to see the progress he has made. There were workers there putting in the insulation. And the system he is using is very interesting. A layer of about an inch and a half of foam is being sprayed between the vertical studs, and then a sheet of light fabric is tacked on top of the studs and a slit is made in that sheet between each of the studs and loose insulation is blown in to fill the space. This combination gives a high R-value and is more airtight than fiberglass battens which are more common.

This will be Max's room

The "Bonus" room over the garage - full of stuff! This is big enough that it could be made into a little apartment
