After Insulation- Ya, it's really not green
The
insulation has been completed. It only took about two days and it all looks
great. Bats have been laid in every nook and cranny creating an envelope
between inside air and outside air. They also sprayed foam around all the
windows as well as 2x6’s that were sistered together. This will help to help
reduce air infiltration. You can already feel how tight the house is.
Normally I’d
be concerned about not having fresh air finding its way in but because we have
forced hot air as well as air conditioning, that shouldn’t be a problem. The heating
unit draws air from the outside which means that the air should be exchanged on
a regular basis.
I took
advantage of a lull in the work to hang insulation on the inside walls in order
to reduce noise. I hung it on the Master Bedroom wall between the Living Room
as well on the walls of the Master Bath and Guest bath and Laundry room. I also
hung it on the wall in the bedroom that has the tub next to it. I’m hoping it
will reduce the noise from the tub when showering as well as afford a level of
privacy to occupants.
I looked
like an alien with long sleeve shirt, ball cap, gloves and mask. But not
breathing it all in or itching like a wild man made the look worth it.
Hopefully the sheetrock will come in soon and we can get all the insulation
covered and have interior walls. Like a normal house.
Enjoy your
day.
