This will be more of a technical blog as
we were at the electrical/plumbing/insulation
stage that didn't show very well in pix.
It's been so long since I've posted, I forgot the
sequencing of how things should be posted, so
these are sorta backwards.This is a picture of
a barrier that is put up next to the reflective barrier.
It looks & feels like a styrofoam egg carton & allows
for air to move between it & the reflective barrier
which will carry hot air out through the vents in
the attic.
This is the reflective barrier. It's amazing
how much cooler this made the house even
before putting in the insulation.
This shows 2 different types of insulation being
used.The one on the left is blown in & faces an
exterior wall.This product is made of newspapers
& paper products & goes in wet & has to dry before
being closed up.This product will NOT burn even
with a torch held to it.The pink product on the
right is a typical batting that went between the
interior walls, ceilings & floors, under stairs-mostly
for sound reduction.
This went up behind the blown-in insulation
& holds it in.For those of you that sew, it looks
like interfacing.
This is the ceiling of the dining room
Some of the wiring going into one of the
electrical panels.There are sooo many
wires!
