This is the week the house gets warm…..and dusty. \u00a0The first area to have the blown insulation put in was the attic space. \u00a0It looked like tiny bits of newspaper and carpet under felt all mixed together. This has been blown into the attic space to a depth of about 3 foot.<\/p>\n
The next area to be attacked was the walls – and boy did they look like they had been attacked. \u00a0We walked in to a scene out of Ghostbusters, with bubbling foamy stuff all over the walls. \u00a0It took 3 days to have the walls done. \u00a0All windows, doors and anything you dont want covered in foam has to be covered up. \u00a0Once this has been done they begin spraying the mixture into the walls. \u00a0It is 2 chemicals that are sprayed and when they meet they form this yellow foam. \u00a0Once dried they then go round with a saw to make the insulation flush with the joists.<\/p>\n
On Friday the gyp rock (plasterboard) arrived. \u00a0For the upper floors it was craned in through the upstairs window.<\/p>\n
The window that was left for the gyprock to come in through has now been put in the right way, sealed and the siding on the outside put on. \u00a0The siding on the front of the house has also been finished and we have the base for the deck on the back of the house.<\/p>\n
In the gallery for this post you will see a picture that has a red arrow on it. \u00a0This was taken from Brule Point, across the water from us. \u00a0We drove round to see if we could spot the house – and – we could.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
