Insulation, excavators, electrical service…
Not a volunteer build day, but time for some interior insulation! Professional contractors blew wet cellulose insulation into the (all still open) walls on the first floor and second floor.
The cellulose goes in wet, completely filling the six inch exterior wall stud bays, then dries out over time, leaving a well insulated wall. This is in addition to the 1″ of rigid foam insulation which was previously installed on the exterior (in between the sheathing and the clapboards. Should be a very well insulated house!
Also, the excavating contractor worked on building the leech field (tank was previously installed last fall), and the electrician put in the conduit for the two underground service feeds from the utility pole to the house.
