Insulation arrives

Okay, we're reaching back to June for updates here. The project has slowly been running its course here. Outside, nothing much has changed since the porch. Most of the changes have been inside so we can get moved in. The first big change was the insulation. The truck arived hauling the trailer at the same time the tile bed was done.

We used high density blown cellulose. Cellulose is recycled newspapers shredded into tiny bits. It is treated with boric acid to keep out vermin (boric acid is non toxic and acts as a dessicant to dry out any bugs that may enter, and also soaks up any moisture that may enter the walls). They also treat he product with fire retardant.
