Insulating the Bedroom and Bathroom Crawl Space

It's amazing how much Gene is able to do by himself on our stone house. But, he can always use an extra pair of hands and I want to help him as much as I can. So I put on my Tyvek suit, respirator, gloves and a hat...I was ready to go under.

It's nasty work, but someone has to do it. If you're claustrophobic, this job and the 2nd video may not be for you!

Before you can insulate, you have to measure and cut. Gene would give me a number and I would cut to size.

That was my main job. Gene did most of the dirty work, but I did have to crawl under myself. Take a look below.

Now our bathroom and bedroom will be extra cozy!

Stone House Renovation: Preparing stone wall

Here's a video of Gene preparing the fireplace wall. He's installing strips of wood over the stone (it's called "furring") so we can level out the surface for our finished wall. We thought about keeping the stone exposed, but it's not in really good shape and not that attractive up close.

We want to do something fun and interesting with it, so we're going to cover it with plywood first and then create a pattern with rough hewn wood. We think the contrast of the wood and stone will be a great focal point in the living room.
