Insulation…Day 2

The guys from Lakewood Insulation in Burnsville showed up this morning and started installing the fiberglass batting and vapor barrier on the second floor of the “L” Shaped House. The first photo below shows the West wall of the master bedroom with batting installed between the studs in the wall and ventilation chutes in the roof extending into the eaves. The plastic vapor barrier will attach to the outside wall and along with the sheetrock create a cavity for the fiberglass insulation that will be blown in the ceiling later.

The next photo shows one of the Lakewood guys on stilts stapling the ventilation chutes to the underside of the roof sheathing between the trusses. The chutes allow outside air into attic space above the insulation. The last photo shows the upstairs kids bathroom and laundry areas with insulation in the walls.
