Garage Insulation Blown. Taping Sheetrock.

There's a lot more sheetrock scrap than I predicted. There are at least 4 piles of the stuff all around the yard. I'm planning to have a trash trailer or a dumpster brought to the site so we can load it up and they can haul it away. We've usually just brought trash to the dump ourselves. But there's enough of it here to make it worth the $175 - $285 for a container.



They have worked 2 half days at taping all the sheetrock. Today they start working whole days because their other job is finished up. Woody, the guy who seems to be the supervisor working with them, tells me that the end of today should be the half-way point in their work. So far, it looks good.






We finished blowing the insulation into the garage walls and attic at 10PM on Monday night. That ended a 4-day marathon of work on that project. I hope I never have to do that again!

Blowing in the attic was far easier than the walls. Just point and shoot! The walls took so much time attaching the netting and then having to hold the hose just-so. And there was so much starting and stopping for each stud bay.

I took yesterday evening off from working at the house. Except for closing up the place and meeting a friend of mine to talk about doing the finishing of the garage door arches, I didn't work over there.
