7.24.2017

We had a glorious cool day today - the temperature never got above 60 degrees!  So a perfect insulation day.  I had to run to Lowe's this morning - we needed more trim screws as well as adhesive for the rigid foam board.
 
Jim got the next two cavities in the wood shop insulated - the studs next to the door opening had studs that required Jim to stuff them with the loose insulation which takes awhile.
 


Up in the apartment, he got the valley rafters all complete now!  That's a huge block checked - there was so much work involved in them.



He then worked in the knee wall area in the back of the closet of the second bedroom.  He filled up the cavity with the sheets of insulation that he removed from the wall.  Then he made clip angles for the rigid foam board.


He stuffed insulation in the open cavities and then got the batts up...


Finishing the last cavity....



Putting the insulation on the sides of the closet wall...

 
Once he figured out how to put the rigid foam in this cavity yesterday, he was able to attach more rigid foam to the back of this cavity... 


Then insulation covers it all up!


Putting insulation over the door...


Lots of progress today on the insulation front - and it was a perfect day for it!
