During the week of the 16th,
numerous details were wrapped up and the insulation crew
sprayed the inside of the exterior walls.
The spray foams up and dries quickly to form an airtight
layer of highly efficient insulation.
Since there is no attic above the Great Room,
its ceiling was sprayed.
In the picture at left,
the yellow foam insulation can be seen between the ceiling
trusses.
Fiberglass bats will be added to increase the
R value,
then the drywall crew will start.
Once the drywall is in,
insulation will be added above the other ceilings.
Now that Spring is here,
our
woodpecker friend
has returned and has discovered the roof of the Main House.
He has not forgotten the Carriage House,
however,
and seems to divide his time between the two roofs.
This is his 3rd year with us.
Fortunately,
he limits his activities to the roof and does no apparent
damage.
