Spray Foam Insulation

Check this out! We have opted to go with a Spray Foam insulation. It is made out of Icynene, which is sprayed on and then it expands and fills cracks and crevices. Even though it costs quite a bit more than traditional pink fiberglass insulation, it keeps your home air tight. No dust, so we hope it helps Corinne's asthma. It literally seals your house from the outside. The A/C unit has a special duct system to the outside, instead of a regular one that vents into the attic. The other neat thing is that the attic temperature will only be about a 4 degree difference than the temperature of the house. After it is sprayed on, they take these big blades and scrape away the excess. The texture of it reminds me of the Temperpedic mattresses, where on the commercial they leave their handprint on the bed, that is how this foam is. It is really soft.
We have had rain for days on end, so not much has happened on the outside of the house. They tried to deliver the shingles yesterday and said that it was too wet and muddy to pull the truck in. We are hoping to start drywall on Monday!
