I'm learning a lot about insulation. For one thing, it's critical for energy efficiency. For another, it's the difference between comfy and drafty.
Makes sense, huh? But how do you build a well insulated house......
The vaulted ceilings in the Family Room posed a particular challenge. Besides being difficult to reach, there is no easy way to establish an air layer at the top to prevent condensation on the north gable .
Enter foam insulation! They started spraying in the foam yesterday, using scaffolds and long hoses. It reminds me of artificial snow. 
Once this is in place, they'll roll in a layer of R14 and R30. (I think that's what Jim said!)
Today the guys from Intech Systems were installing the security and audio wiring while I was there.
Meanwhile much is happening on the outside as well. But that's the subject of a future post!
