Insulation! Just in time for summer weather

It is crazy warm out today! But just in case it gets cold again – we now have insulation in the nursery and master bathroom as well as along the sill plate in the basement 🙂 It was great getting work done on the house while I got to stay at my desk and get regular work done. When they do a good job I like hiring people and this place did a much better job than what we’ve had done before.

Anyway – here are some pictures!

Spraying...

Cutting...

And the finished pictures…

Basement sill plate - although the one mistake they made is that there were 2 bays we asked them NOT to spray (i marked under with an X), because we have to still run pipes and electric for the kitchen renovation some day - all well, we'll be cutting that back out.

 

The master bathroom (we didn't have them do around the windows since these haven't yet been replaced).

The nursery and top of stairs.

The nursery including the closet.

The ceiling in the front hallway (front door entrance) - this part of the ceiling is just a porch roof above so we wanted it insulated.

More in the basement - the front and back didn't have actual bays to spray but he sealed up what was there.

Even got into the crawl spaces - uck!

I’m not quite sure what percentage of our house is now insulated – what’s not insulated:

  •  the kitchen
  • master bedroom
  • upstairs bathroom (the small one)
  • what will be the washer/dryer room (small section)
  • back bedroom (sewing room)
  • attic

Not too bad – we’re definitely more than 50% insulated, probably 65% maybe would be my guess.  And I have all the windows open so the smell is already aired out (this stuff didn’t give off very much of a smell anyway compared to whatever the other people used).  Oh in case anyone is interested – we went with GreenStar out of MA this time around.
