Big Blue Day

Another day of big progress. 95% done with the blow in cellulose and "blueskin" vapor wrap.
In the attic I added some wood blocking to secure the window frames to the house frame. The construction crew didn't want to remove the old exterior trim since that was what was holding the windows in place.
Under the front windows. Hollow wall cavity above the enclosed storage area in the basement; which had a frost wall and was spray foamed during the big remodel. 

Showing the newly filled cavity between the dining room windows. For all of them, they pulled out the fiberglass and used foam board and spray foam to insulate. 

Fully rebuilt corner. Old wood pulled out, new beams added and the cavity insulated with foam. Made an actual corner unlike what was there. 

Repaired and insulated corner and header above windows. 

The cavity below the front windows is now filled with cellulose. Rather than wait for Dave to show up with foam we had them use a mesh to hold in the cellulose. 

Blue house! The entire old section is now wrapped in Blueskin vapor barrier. Getting lots of looks from passersby. 

Front of blue house. Under the windows and to the left still need insulating.
