Insulation innovation

Ian crafted an insulation cutting stand at the right height to lay the bat on the table and cut on the stand.  When measuring it looks like a fabric store. Wisdom from his mom put to a surprising use.

We used deer net to keep the insulation up in the ceiling before the sheet rock will go in.  I credit the net idea to Ian's stepmom who has it surrounding her gardens.

And more insulation

We had hoped to insulate the garage this weekend.  The insulation for the ceiling was out of stock, so when we finished the walls we kept on going.  We got most of the 2x4 walls in the house.  It was a good weekend.

We've decided that "stonewashed blue" is not going to be our paint color, but is a step up from "weathered wood".

Insulation

This is one of the "green" elements of our project.  Recycled denim insulation.   Easier to work with than fiberglass, similar performance, and 80 recycled content. 

And it feels like a big step forward!
