Happy Memorial Day Week-End.  So what did Bob & Dee do over the holiday week-end; we patched holes, put in sound proofing, built a wall and torn down a closet.  Also, Dee's brother Al put in some hours to help us with the above, and help frame out some areas in the ceiling so that we can get insulation started this coming week.

So here are a couple of pictures of the insulation/sound proofing.  What we tried to do is insulate the bedrooms from the great room space.  This will make for some great, quiet guest rooms for the kids to sleep, while the parents party into the night.

I (Dee) think I did a great job, given this was my first time working with insulation.  I also did the easy stuff while Bob & Al used the saw, climbed the tall ladder and hammered away.

Leaving the Master Bedroom

 Master Bedroom to the closet and master bath

 Great Room, looking at the bedrooms.  That spot in the center is where the TV will be. The three doorways lead to the 3 bedrooms.

 Guest bedroom closet, behind where the TV will be in the Great Room.

 Orange and white foam, creating an air barrier around the door and in this "tight to insulate" spots.

 Outside; opposite of the Great Room fireplace.  Bob had to add some foam to seal off the top of the fireplace chase.  Nice Work!!

You can see the half wall here (bottom left), although I ran out of insulation and need to patch a couple areas.

 Here you can see the orange foam sealing where the wires come out of the house for exterior lighting.  Wahoo, so much fun!!!
