The Old Folks Home

[superchemicalgirl]

I used both on the walls and the batting on the ceiling. Let me see if I can find pictures.

We used R13 batting with the paper back. Stapled the paper to the studs as you're supposed to then covered with plywood. This is most of the walls and the ceiling. The two walls we did (one was taken out in the addition) we ran out of 2x4s and used them sideways, so there wasn't enough space to put regular batting insulation in there let alone staple it in so we used the styrofoam.



Ceiling being done with walls done. The window got the spray insulation in a can.



This is the weird wall that we had to use the other insulation type with, just cut it to fit. Sorry I don't have a picture of it with insulation, but it's the same principle.


We ended up putting t-111 over the soffits, and some pretty edging but otherwise, this was it, prior to the addition.


And just for giggles, this is it now


Hope these help.

Was that you that woke me up in the Middle of the night? Amazing how many time zones that scream went through to get to California...

I hope it warms up like predicted.

We are part of the small percentage of the US that was missed by the Arctic Blast.

I thought it was the train.

Without the beard...anyone?..we need one without the beard.

I am sure you are already a Good Grandmother. I supposed the Great part was bound to happen.

Congrats, Cynthia!


(she's a little big, but - no beard!)

Feeling like a bit of a wimp tonight. I'm sitting here with all of my fingers and toes tender with the after effects of frost nip. I seem to have spent most of my day schlepping water to a variety of critters. There are ways of dealing with these things, of course, but since temperatures like these seldom happen more than a handful of times per winter here, it hardly seems worth the investment. I know that to a lot of you, a day with the temps in the 20's seems balmy at this time of year, but being out in it all day has wiped me out. By this weekend, we'll be in the 60's again.

Thanks everyone! We are also expecting our 33rd grand child. Whew, got excited about the great part first.

Ha, love the rocking chair. That should be on our smileys here. I am going to save that one.

ron, you are a sweetheart. Shucks.
