After helping my sis with garage demolition for a day....i went over to the Duck and hung some insulation. it's a nasty job but someone has to do it. a lot of going up and down the ladder.
I got this outside wall of the dining room done. the stuff without the paper is what we had left over at the farm. Jim was cleaning out the barn and sent that with me so i put that up, too.
Also got a wall in the office done.
Three strips up on the bedroom wall
Eight strips in the studio
And all of the bathroom wall
I installed 5 rolls of insulation...then ran out. i figured that was enough for that trip. it seemed to take forever because the insulation strips are 8' long and my walls are 10' high. so i was constantly cutting and pasting.
Then i got smart and just hung the strips wherever they would fit width-wise and left the cutting and pasting till next trip. i figure i need 4 or 5 more rolls for the rest of the outside walls and then several more for the inside walls. I was putting them up with a hammer stapler.
This is what happens when you miss what you are hammering.
I am here to tell you that hurt like hell. i grabbed my thumb and said some ugly words. i was afraid to look at it....i just knew i hammered a staple into it....and i was going to have to get the pliers and pull that staple out. but luckily i just mashed it....i guess it just hit the side. i did it thursday and it is still all pretty colors but doesn't hurt much any more. thank God i didn't have to pull a staple out. i managed to smack a finger on the other hand, too....but not as bad as this. i am a danger to myself. LOL
Next time i do down i will take more insulation and do more. but right now i have to catch up on some quilting.....so, talk to you...
Later
