2/9/11 - Side wall insulation

I took the day off work today. Our friend Andy, Kristin, and I worked on insulation for the entire day. Now that the rough plumbing and electrical are complete and all the insulation mesh is up (nice work Kristin) we can get serious about the insulation. Its dusty and dirty but fairly rewarding. Each stud bay is injected with cellulose until it feels like a firm mattress.

2/6/11 - Rough Plumbing complete

The rough plumbing is finally done. All waste piping and supply piping is complete (even though we don't have a well yet). Now its full-on side wall insulation time. The blue and red pipes are supply lines. They are a material called PEX (cross linked polyethylene). It bends so no elbows or soldering are required. Great for a novice plumbing like me.
