Batt insulation day 6

More batt installation with my cousin today.

Here on the first floor, where before, I only have the Roxul ComfortBoard installed, we have R22 Roxul ComfortBatt installed.

As for the ceilings, in the bedroom, the entire ceiling is filled.

Here’s the area just outside the bedroom that’s part of the roof. It’s actually interior space after the orange double LVLs since the 3rd floor is just up there.

In the 2nd floor bathroom, almost all done, just a single row left.

Here’s a view of what we are doing with Roxul in the ceiling. Keep in mind that my roof uses 14″ TJI. And on top of the TJI to create the roof slow there’s about another 2″ of slopped wood on the top. The spray foam that was applied to the roof is about 4.5″-5″ giving it a R31. Then we are putting in another 8″-9″ of Roxul ComfortBatt under the spray foam filled all of the space in the 14″ TJI. We are using a 5.5″ thick R22 Roxul on the bottom while using either a 3.5″ R14 or whatever fits the shape of the spray foam on the top. So there should be a minimum of R67 where the spray foam is at the thinnest. Where spray foam is thicker, the R value should be higher as the space is filled with more foam and less Roxul.
