Tightened UP and HOLDING the HEAT!

Finally, it is warm in house Gladwin.  Rejoice, good humans, for the heat shall now remain.
Or something like that.

But yeah, very pumped to have it insulated!  Pictures of foamy and fuzzy goodness to follow:

Entryway room ceiling/roof done in all spray foam (thanks to whoever decided that!)



Each piece of blocking installed right between rafters and side overhang supports was blasted with a thick picture-frame of closed cell spray foam to keep the roof assembly air-TIGHT.  No vented roof for this house...




Closer look at the foam.  Also notice the extensive caulking around headers, top plates, etc.  Good stuff! 
 

And then the cellulose went in the next day!



 Headers were packed in, and the 2nd floor rim joist pockets


It's toasty in here now!  Whoo-hoo!  Still in the single-digits outside though (and -10 tonight, again.  oy)

After over 140 bags of cellulose, the insulation team ran out.  Still a lot of roof to go today!

Recycled newspaper, blue jeans, other stuff....

Nice soft fibers of heat-retaining excellence.

Meanwhile Greg (our new site manager) has started manufacturing exterior window trim assemblies.  Pretty slick (provided they fit right, haha)
