The news of the day is that we passed the insulation inspection. Woo Hoo!
 |
| The final layer of blown insulation on the exterior walls.....shredded newspaper! |
 |
| Fiberglass batting insulation in gaps around the fireplace |
 |
| Foam insulation between ceiling rafters |
 |
| Exposed fir beams were wrapped in plastic food wrap to protect them from insulation overspray |
As it turned out, I was at the house when the inspector showed up and that was probably a good thing. He hesitated on the 3rd floor where we had insulated and dry-walled in the knee wall closets because he could not SEE the insulation. He took my word for it that we had done it and said that any other time he would have to fail us, but since I was the home-owner he was taking my word that it had been done correctly.
Passing this inspection allows for dry wall to be hung next week (I say with fingers crossed) and puts us one step closer to the finished product.
