Garage Insulation

Well, we rented a lift today and Kenny and I worked on insulating the garage ceiling. (We took a few breaks to allow the kids a little fun - see below). We were able to finish the ceiling, and only have a few wall pieces left until the entire garage is insulated. Then we can have the drywallers come in and finish off the room in the basement, garage, and fix some miscellaneous drywall goofs in the house that the previous drywaller never came back to fix. We hope to have the basement painted by the end of February. Kenny will be finished with basketball by then, so hopefully then we'll be able to move on to trim. You'll notice that we used the rolls of formaldehyde-free insulation on the garage ceiling, but used the regular batts (with formaldehyde) in the garage walls. It was just a matter of convenience and we felt we were ok in having the formaldehyde in the garage since there's an exhaust fan and it will be covered anyway.

Basement

Here are some pics of the basement. We've added some walls and insulation for acoustics. Hopefully we'll get the garage insulation finished so that we can have both drywalled and move on to painting, drop ceiling, and carpet. Note that the insulation in the basement is Johns Manville Formaldehyde-Free insulation.
