The fiberglass insulation installation at the upstairs living area is complete. We spent the last few days carefully installing the plastic vapor barrier. Although it's not a pool liner, we spent a lot of time making certain that air leaks are minimized. We temporarily screwed in the fire door at the entrance so we can use a kerosene heater to take off the chill...works great. It is SO nice to be able to work up there in jeans and a T-shirt. With the inordinately warmer weather we are enjoying in the midwest, I expect a window A/C unit will likely appear sooner than later. This is a pretty big step for our 2-horse team. It defines the interior space and provides the sound deadening and temp control to give us a real feel for the how the finished product will someday look. Instead of a bunch of the same old pics, I decided to link up a bunch of those same old pics into a new old video.
Although we are now spurred on to start thinking about the drywall, it is gonna be a pretty significant expense and the piggie bank is sputtering. Besides, we will be bringing in 12-footers thru the picture windows and the soil has be either frozen solid or dry as a bone or the dely truck/cherry picker can't be safely staged to hoist it through. We are not wanting for numerous other smaller projects, so shifting our DIY attention elsewhere is pretty easy....likely back downstairs to start working on the garage area.
