Day 36: Insulation

This is one of those things that costs, saves and remains hidden. This is the 3rd addition to the original house and yet, it is not all insulated. The new addition will of course be insulated, but there are parts of the original house that don't have any, especially the entire east wall of the house and parts of the front that never had any additional work done to them. Under so many layers of siding, it probably wouldn't have made a difference, but stripped down of 2 layers, it will be noticed. Ouch! Holes will be drilled between every stud on every level and insulation blown in. They will be patched before the siding goes on. Ouch! Ouch!

Once the upstairs bathroom got framed in, and mechanicals, meaning electrical wiring, plumbing and HVAC, were finished, we had a better idea of what we wanted, and it wasn't exactly how it was done. Joe, from Killeen Plumbing stopped by to move the vanity plumbing onto the adjacent wall. The bathroom will have a pocket door to save space, a 5' vanity on one end, a tub on the opposite end and toilet in the middle. Small, but well appointed.
