Insulation & Drywall

Nate found AMAZING insulation and drywall guys to do our house. Seriously.  The insulation people are giving us a fantastic price on the best insulation there is, and the house inspector told just a few days ago that the insulation in our house is one of the best insulation jobs he's seen. Sweet!  As for drywall, yea, they just about finished two floors of drywall in two days. Hello.  They're like Jimmy Johns - so fast you'll freak!

We were told that once the drywall was in the house would feel a lot bigger.  That did not make any sense to me - it seemed like it would be the opposite.  It's true though.  The house does feel enclosed now, since the ceilings don't go on forever, but the actual rooms feel gigantic.  I think it's because the spaces are now defined, whereas with just the framing you couldn't always tell, at first glance, where one room ended and another started.

This is the insulation surrounding the theater.  Supposedly it's the best of the best and will really help with soundproofing.  Any guesses as to what it's made of?  Old jeans.  Crazy, I know!

The first, and hopefully only, casualty during the building process.  It was in the master bedroom.  Sad day.

The house is a little boy's dreamland.  Cole loves to explore in and around it.  He'll probably be sad when the construction is finished - it won't be nearly as fun!

My real men. 

(Nick and I had to wear the hard hats when we went to look at siding for the outside of the house. I had to loan my to Cole for a cute photo op.  Despite his facial expression, he actually really liked the hat and didn't want to give it back.)
