Insulation…Day 4

The Insulation guys showed up to install the blown-in fiberglass insulation above the garage ceiling. The insulation is blown up a big plastic tube from a truck parked at the curb out front. They attach a plastic netting material to the bottom of the open web trusses and climb right up into the ceiling to direct the hose all around as the 20” space is filled right to the top with fiberglass. The first photo shows Ed sprawled out inside the ceiling holding the “business end” of the fiberglass gun!

The video below shows the blown-in insulating process in action.

The last photo (added Friday) shows the garage after the Lakewood guys finished installing the insulation in the ceiling…they used something like 45 bags of fiberglass. All that is left is the vapor barrier in the ceiling and the sheet rocking may begin.
