Insulation

The early part of the week they insulated. When we walked in late Wednesday afternoon, the house was somewhat toasty. Fiberglass batting was stapled to the ceiling trusses and cellulose was blown into the walls. Once the drywall is up on the ceiling, they will blow in a bunch more cellulose (R-60). Here is what it looked like:

For some reason, they chose to use fiberglass around the stairs. When asked, the builder did not know why.

Around the stairs.

As soon as we get power from DTE (perhaps today, 3/7), they will turn on the temporary furnace to dry out the house. In the mean time, they have a small propane burner in the laundry room.

While we were out there, I ran wiring for a coax and 2 more ethernet drops in my office.

(It was not near so toasty in the basement; those gloves and insulated boots came in handy.)
