AN INSULATION PARTY!! FOLLOWED BY DRYWALL.

While I was out east for a while, Charlie organized a workshop
with friends and relatives (here daughter April) to
install the insulation. Fiberglass batts in stud cavities
is pretty standard....


...but rigid sheets over the batts , with caulk at
all joints, and fastened to the studs with plastic nails
is rather unusual. Charlie and Colin soldier on...


And now we are ready for drywall.


Well at least where there IS drywall. Some areas have
cedar siding instead, and some edges needed "j" bead,
and some areas needed glue and minimal fasteners
(we would have used plastic nails but could not find
ones which were long enough). So I had to write in bold
lettering and arrows where got what, or got none at all.


Drywall time! Now, how to get it in the house...

...why, through a window, of course.


Wonderful hangers and tapers, Carlos and Benito.
Stilts make a 10-0 ceiling a piece of cake.


Now late afternoon shadows have white to play on.
