Insulation





Sent from my iPhone
The house is for the most part dried in right now. Rough-in is complete and inspections have passed. The insulator made his first rip yesterday, applying the spray foam inside of the exterior walls on the second floor. It is amazing how much it has dampened the noise throughout the floor.

Matt and I have been making preparations for Hurricane Irene's arrival today. Not too worried about the main house, but the porch is not currently fastened down. We'll get a fantastic uplift test today - free of charge!

Not much progress in the house over the last two or three weeks.  Paul has been waiting for the metal roof to be installed to complete the dry-in in order for other trades to begin.  The metal roof installation began on Friday.  On Saturday, my friend Danny was flying over the house and was nice enough to think of us and take photos.  Very very cool!!  It’s a good thing he did because otherwise you might never see the actual metal roof.  Not much is viewable from the street level.
