My brother-in-law came over early this morning, around 7:30. We attempted to beat the heat today working down at the house. It didn't work. Two Lowe's runs and 10 more rolls of insulation later, we were done. I think that makes 29 rolls total used, in addition to what was donated by New Guy Contractor.
Inside little bedroom, looking towards the closet and utility room. We insulated this little cube in the middle of the house for noise reduction, mainly, in an effort to tame laundry room and bathroom noise.
In the little bedroom's closet, the wall behind where the washing machine and dryer will be. We didn't insulate behind the bathtub so that the plumbing would be accessible.
Back in the Great Room, the entrance to the utility room.
The square at the bottom right is the air return.
Inside the utility room.
Inside the master bedroom, looking towards the main bathroom. Hopefully this wall will reduce the noise of the someone showering or the toilet flushing in the main bathroom.
Inside the master bath, looking into the closet. I took out the sliding doors for the closet to work.
The master bath, looking towards the corner where the hot water heater will be tucked away.
The vanity/toilet wall in master bathroom, and above the bathtub.
The pictures seem a little blurry because of all the dust. After work was done for the day, we cleaned up behind ourselves, swept, and shop-vac'd.
We were done around 3pm, very tired and sweaty but glad to have gotten all the insulation accomplished. My best friend came over and helped us in our last leg of insulation, made a food run, and manned the shop-vac while I swept.
Much thanks to my brother-in-law and best friend for all their help today! Especially once it was clean, it really is looking like a home.
Oh, and my brother-in-law went on a wasp-killing spree and used almost a whole bottle of spray. They weren't paying rent, dived bombed us a few times, and weren't very welcoming. They were evicted.
Sheetrock work will start either this week or next...
