The inside and outside are reaching equal levels of completion. The house has been airing out after having the insulation installed. We have 2 types installed. The cellulose is located in the exterior walls, Icynene in the roof and building overhang areas. The cellulose is a slow curing insulation, that provides R3.8 per inch, and for our walls the R value approximately R21. Cellulose insulation is the oldest form of insulation, Thomas Jefferson had it in Monticello
Please note how thoughtful the contractor has been on the site. The house has been stocked with drywall, which has been located in locations that can support the temporary loads.
All the floor register locations (for the heating & cooling register) have been protectively covered. This avoids filling the air ducts with contaminates.
A huge issue for me is the condition of the door thresholds. During construction the large door openings are very convenient for moving materials in and out of the house. As a result the thresholds can be dented, however this contractor has taken care to protect the threshold with his device.
Next stop drywall……
