We're in the pink (and white)

For the first time in many months, there was a noticeable difference when we walked into the house today.  It was absolutely, eerily quiet.  Not that it's ever very loud, but everything was muffled and there was no echo whatsoever.  Why?  Because we are now insulated!

Master Bedroom
All of the exterior walls have blown in fiberglass (in white) in addition to rigid foam on the exterior.  The fiberglass gives us an R-value of about 23, and the rigid adds another 5 (and cuts down on air infiltration.)  The roof is also insulated with blown in fiberglass (unfortunately we can't find the R-value information for the ceilings.)

Living Room Ceiling
The interior walls all have pink fiberglass batts.  Now that the insulation is in, we really get a sense of each room as an enclosed space.  We've walked through the walls for the last time!

Pantry

Guest Bedroom
Masster Bathroom
Things changed quite a bit in the last week, and the giant sheets of dry wall propped up around the house mean that it won't take long before it really begins to look like the interior of a house!
