Insulation Day


Today was insulation day! Dad didn't think it would be until later this week and had to put this insulation board up in the garage. Well he came up late last night and got a couple of sheets up. The rest he measured and cut and tacked them up. I went over there early this morning to finished hammering in the million nails. As you can see you have to put them every few inches and on every stud. 

This was towards the end of the day when I went back over there to pay them. One person blows it in while another person sucks it back up. The third person packs it in and smooths it out. It is a very MESSY job! Imagine all those bits and pieces of newspaper flying around everywhere just like little pieces of confetti.
The finished product.

This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
